Ankle Foot Orthoses (AFOs) are frequently prescribed for ambulatory children with Cerebral Palsy (CP) to improve their walking pattern. In particular, AFOs are currently indicated to prevent and correct the equinus-valgus-pronatus foot deformity. However, several studies indicated that walking with AFOs impairs the second and the third rocker [1]. A new model of orthosis, named the “Ortesi Modulare Astragalo Calcaneare” (OMAC, fig 1), has been recently proposed and patented. This orthosis was designed to overcome the AFOs limitations, that is preventing the equinus-valgus-pronatus foot but preserving the second and third rocker. The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy and the compliance of the use of the OMAC with respect the AFO in children with CP.

Abstract
Ankle Foot Orthoses (AFOs) are frequently prescribed for ambulatory children with Cerebral Palsy (CP) to improve their walking pattern. In particular, AFOs are currently indicated to prevent and correct the equinus-valgus-pronatus foot deformity. However, several studies indicated that walking with AFOs impairs the second and the third rocker [1]. A new model of orthosis, named the “Ortesi Modulare Astragalo Calcaneare” (OMAC, fig 1), has been recently proposed and patented. This orthosis was designed to overcome the AFOs limitations, that is preventing the equinus-valgus-pronatus foot but preserving the second and third rocker. The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy and the compliance of the use of the OMAC with respect the AFO in children with CP.
