 Most orthoses made for children are motion-
controlling or motion-altering
 Accommodative devices are less frequently
required in this age group.
 The relatively light weight of a child means
materials that are more forgiving with
increased flex in a heavier individual such as
an adult will resist collapse more readily in a
child
 This allows you to choose from a wide range
of material properties, shell thicknesses and
filler options while still achieving the desired
goal of motion control
 The ideal orthosis for a child will limit
excessive or undesired motions while still
allowing normal motions that are so
important for ideal development
Key Posting Considerations
 Dynamic compensations for Varus deformities of the rearfoot
and leg require POSTING
The amount of control a post provides is determined by
numerous factors:
 the number of degrees the post is angled
 the stiffness or resistance to compression of the posting material
 anterior-posterior length of the post and the width of the post
 A longer, wider post made of a stiffer material will offer the most
control to the rearfoot and leg
 There is a reduced need for forefoot posting in children under
the age of 6.
Be Aware Of Predisposing Risk
Factors In The Pediatric Pronated
Foot
 A child may exhibit a weak foot structure leading to
pronation, but may also have additional predisposing risk
factors that may affect the foot in its overall development and
function. These risk factors include, but are not limited to,
ligamentous laxity, obesity, rotational and angular
disorders and ankle equinus
 Shells made of more rigid materials and/or of increased
thickness are the best choices for treating children who have
generalized ligamentous laxity
 Other modifications such as a deep heel seat, increased
calcaneal pitch to lock the oblique midtarsal joint axis and
medial and lateral flanges to reduce transverse plane
compensations of the midfoot will aid in control of the foot
with notable laxity
 Thicker shells and more rigid materials are also necessary in
managing the pronated foot in the obese child
 Longitudinal arch fillers will help reduce the increased
compression of the arch area of the shell in overweight
patients. Soft tissue supplementation at the foot/orthosis
interface may help reduce the hard feel of such devices and
increase shock absorption necessary for sports.
How To Handle Rotational And
Angular Disorders
Rotational and angular disorders that produce both intoeing and out-toeing, bowing and knock-knees may
contribute to a compensatory pes valgus. Orthoses for
angular disorders benefit from high posting and outflared or wide posts to stabilize the post plate in the
frontal plane.
Treatment Tips For Ankle Equinus
 Fully compensated equinus foot, often characterized by pronation of
the subtalar joint with consequent unlocking of the oblique
midtarsal joint axis to allow for dorsiflexion and abduction to occur
at the midfoot, is a major cause of pediatric pronation
 Childhood ankle equinus may be developmental or pathologic:
 Developmental equinus typically accompanies a rapid bone growth
spurt, resulting in relative shortening of the muscles
 Pathologic equinus may be congenital or result from other etiologic
causes
 Both exert harmful forces on the foot, either initiating abnormal
pronation or aggravating pronation already present in the child.
 In addition to stretching the tight musculature, orthotic
control of the abnormal midfoot is usually necessary
 Adding heel raises to an orthotic device to plantarflex
the foot and increasing the amount of available
dorsiflexion of the ankle for midstance are effective at
helping to reduce compensation in this foot type
 In addition, the presence of equinus may limit the
degree of control that can be tolerated by
Other Helpful Treatment Insights
 Patients with a talocalcaneal coalition have reduced subtalar
joint motion and frequent peroneal spasm. Employing a rigid
orthosis from a pronated cast with a deep heel seat and a 0degree rearfoot post is often successful at reducing painful
motion
 When you treat children with a calcanonavicular coalition,
keep in mind that reduced subtalar joint motion and
peroneal spasm are less common
 Calcaneal apophysitis (Sever’s disease) is an inflammation
(sometimes considered an osteochondrosis) of the secondary
growth center of the calcaneus. It is frequently accompanied
by a tight heel cord and may be aggravated by high loads
through the heel.
