The use of gait plates for in-toed and out-toed deformities.

One of the most common pediatric abnormalities treated by podiatrists is an angle-of-gait disturbance. Prior to the initiation of treatment, it is imperative that the practitioner determines both the cause and extent of the problem. At this point, the practitioner will be able to determine what the most appropriate treatment should be. In-toe and out-toe gait plates provide an effective manner of altering a developing youngster's angle-of-gait problems and are capable of allowing the child to function and develop in a more normal fashion.
