From AFOs and spinal braces to custom foot orthotics, there are many different types of orthoses, each designed for specific needs. 🦶🏽🦵🏽

Your first prosthesis is not your final prosthesis

💗 Every step tells a story.

These custom-made AFOs were designed specifically for one little girl—providing the support she needs while reflecting her bright personality. Because orthotics don’t have to be plain; they can be functional, comfortable, and fun.

When children love how their braces look, they’re often more excited to wear them—and consistent wear leads to better outcomes.

At Du Toit Orthopaedics, every orthosis is tailored to the individual, because no two patients are the same.

Your prosthetic fit can change throughout the day — and that’s completely normal.

Residual limb volume fluctuations can lead to a loose socket, increased movement, skin irritation, and reduced comfort. The good news? Small adjustments can make a big difference. 🦿

Every amputee’s journey starts with a first step.

Today, this test prosthesis is more than just a device — it’s the beginning of finding a new normal, rebuilding confidence, and rediscovering independence.

One step at a time. 👣

A partial foot prosthesis is more than just filling a shoe. It’s about restoring balance, protecting the remaining foot, and helping patients walk with confidence again. Every step matters. 🦶✨
