Pediatric SMOs (Supramalleolar Orthotics): Supporting Your Child’s Mobility

At Mobility Solutions, we are dedicated to providing specialized care for children with unique orthopedic needs. Our Pediatric SMOs (Supramalleolar Orthotics) are designed to offer the precise support and stability that growing children need, ensuring they can move confidently and comfortably.

What Are SMOs?

Supramalleolar Orthotics, commonly known as SMOs, are custom-made orthotic devices that provide support just above the ankle bones. These orthotics are specifically designed for children who require additional stability in their feet and ankles without restricting their natural movement.

Why Choose SMOs for Your Child?

  • Stabilization and Support: SMOs are ideal for children with mild to moderate pronation, where the ankles tend to roll inward. These orthotics help stabilize the foot and ankle, promoting proper alignment and preventing further complications.
  • Encourages Natural Movement: Unlike more restrictive orthotics, SMOs allow for a high degree of mobility, enabling your child to walk, run, and play with minimal interference.
  • Comfortable Fit: Custom-fitted to your child’s foot shape, SMOs provide a snug and comfortable fit, ensuring they are easy to wear throughout the day.

Conditions Treated with SMOs

  • SMOs are often recommended for children with:
  • Mild to Moderate Pronation
  • Low Muscle Tone
  • Flat Feet
  • Hypermobile Joints
  • Toe Walking

Benefits of Pediatric SMOs

  • Improves Balance and Coordination: By stabilizing the foot and ankle, SMOs help improve your child’s balance and coordination, reducing the risk of falls and injuries.
  • Promotes Healthy Development: Proper foot alignment is crucial during a child’s developmental years. SMOs support healthy foot and ankle development, helping to prevent long-term orthopedic issues.
  • Enhances Confidence: With improved stability and mobility, children using SMOs can participate more fully in activities, boosting their confidence and independence.
