Walt Rinehart
Walt Rinehart has an infectious spirit and a smile that lights up a room. This energetic toddler is playful, smart and now officially walking. Considering the average child with Down Syndrome is delayed in walking, he's off to a great start! Walt recently received SupraMalleolar Orthoses, or SMO, from our team. These custom-made devices are like braces that fit inside shoes to provide support and stability to the foot and ankle. These are often used for children with low muscle tone, a common side-effect of Down Syndrome. As a partner of the Kenny Rogers Children's Center in Sikeston, Missouri, our prosthetics and orthotics team holds sessions to create 3D-printed custom orthotics for children at the non-profit. Working closely with Walt's physical therapist, they found the best device. The SMO they chose will help Walt as he takes confident steps and shares that bright smile wherever he roams.
