What is a Dennis Brown Splint and why would a child need one?
Has your child recently completed clubfoot (CTEV) treatment using casting or the Ponseti method? Are you worried about the feet turning inward again? A Dennis Brown Splint, also called a DB splint, is a critical follow-up orthosis used to maintain the corrected position of the feet and prevent recurrence of clubfoot.
Our custom-made DB splints are tailored for each child, ensuring maximum comfort, correct angle, and a better chance of full recovery.

Infants and toddlers after clubfoot correction through the Ponseti method

🔄 How is it different from an AFO or Air Walker Boot?
-
An AFO brace (Ankle Foot Orthosis) is typically used for foot drop, stroke rehab, or neuromuscular disorders in adults and older children.
-
An Air Walker Boot is for fracture recovery, post-surgery care, and ankle sprains.
-
A Dennis Brown Splint is exclusively for infants or toddlers with clubfoot, and is used preventatively after treatment, not for injury recovery.
