Could custom orthotics help your child?
Here are some of the conditions our tailored orthotic solutions support
Cerebral Palsy (CP)
A neurological condition affecting muscle control and coordination, often causing spasticity, toe walking, abnormal gait patterns, poor balance, and lower limb alignment issues.
Idiopathic Toe Walking
A condition where children continue walking on their toes without an underlying medical cause, which may affect gait and cause tight calf muscles or Achilles tendon shortening.
Spina Bifida
A congenital condition affecting the spinal cord that can lead to muscle weakness, reduced sensation, lower limb paralysis, and difficulties with standing and walking.
Flexible Pes Planovalgus
A foot alignment problem where the arch collapses during weight-bearing, potentially causing foot pain, fatigue, poor posture, and altered walking mechanics over time.
Charcot-Marie-Tooth
An inherited nerve disorder causing progressive muscle weakness, foot deformities, foot drop, balance difficulties, and an increased risk of trips and falls over time.
Talipes Equinovarus (Clubfoot)
A congenital foot deformity causing the foot to turn inward and downward, affecting normal foot positioning, mobility, and walking ability if not properly managed early.

Great communication throughout the process and have produced a great product that are stylish and comfortable for her!
Thanks so much! Couldn’t recommend Ability Made more !

All the staff were incredibly kind and responsive, and the service was very prompt. Most importantly, the quality of the AFOs is the best I’ve seen so far. I’m really impressed and grateful for the care provided.
Did You Know?
An orthosis only helps when it becomes part of everyday life.
Research shows that many children do not wear their AFOs for the recommended amount of time, with studies reporting adherence rates below 50% in some populations. Comfort, fit, appearance, lifestyle demands and how naturally an orthosis fits into everyday life can all play a role (Prosthetics & Orthotics International, 2022).
Behind every unused AFO is usually a story: discomfort, fit issues, a child’s changing needs, challenges with shoes and clothing, or a device that just didn’t work with everyday life.
That’s why we combine orthotist expertise with digital design technology to create orthotic solutions designed around both clinical needs and the person who wears them.
