The KID-DEE-LITE is an orthotic component that enables a dynamic treatment of a child’s foot by providing support and correction of paediatric orthopaedic conditions. KID-DEE-LITE is the smallest ankle joint available with 40 degrees plantar-dorsi adjustment, used in dynamic custom moulded foot and ankle orthoses. This orthotic component allows for a wide range of rotational control within the ankle joint while providing stabilisation for critical management of achieved correction.

This ankle joint is small and light, fitting paediatric ankle foot orthoses of children younger than 5 years of age or below 25 kg of weight. The KID-DEE-LITE kit includes, an alignment tube, straight and curved uprights, assembled joints and mounting components
