Hypermobility continues to be of huge interest to me personally. Prescribed orthotics can be invaluable to the patients of all ages, especially children, giving them stability of their lower limbs, giving them back control and helping with pain.
I will continue to use Richie braces for the more challenging conditions such as acquired flat foot, foot drop and tib post dysfunction.
The difference that a Richie Brace can make is quite remarkable and the videos below demonstate this.
