    There are three videos with this publication. The first two show the difficulties the child has walking while wearing a solid AFO, and then a SMO without flexion of the 2nd and 3rd rockers, (dorsiflexion and digital extension is blocked. The third video shows that the child can actually walk when electrical stimulation is used and the child is wearing only shoes. Go to “Supplemental Digital Content” after the references, at the bottom of the article to click on each individual video.
