The Little Richie is an alternative to traditional AFO therapy for pediatric patients. Modeled after the successful Richie Brace for adults, the Little Richie Brace combines a custom balanced functional foot orthotic with a semi-rigid ankle brace. The Little Richie brace was specifically designed for children and adolescents up to age 16. The brace is well suited for active children with sports injuries.

Scan for AFOs with SOLO
Scan for the Little Richie using the SOLO viSO app as an alternative to traditional casting methods. It’s fast, easy and accurate. No matter which of the accepted casting methods you choose (plaster splints, STS socks or digital scanning), we have the training tools to assist you.
Casting or scanning is required at least 1 inch above device height you select. We recommend measuring from the floor up, marking the posterior leg, as well as the medial and lateral malleoli before scanning or casting.
A “good” scan or cast must capture:
- plantar contours
- the medial and lateral malleolus
- posterior heel and lower leg higher than the desired height of the brace
- a solid scan or cast without holes or voided areas
Indications
- Cerebral palsy
- Muscular dystrophy
- Clubfoot Talipes (equinovarus, calcaneal valgus)
- Tarsal coalition
