Casting Footplates A tool for creating custom Cascade DAFOs Cascade Dafo’s casting footplates help to position the fully-correctable foot during casting. A level plantar surface helps the clinician set the heel and dorsiflexion angles accurately and easily post the forefoot, as needed. The footplates also protect the width of the foot so that a snug wrap can represent the volume of the foot and ankle well.
Key Features Light and flexible plastic construction conforms to the foot and allows for simple forefoot posting. Well-defined plantar surface includes longitudinal, peroneal, and metatarsal arches and ST contour. Full heel cup Convenient and easy to transport Footplates stack easily in a convenient carrying case. Simply remove from the cast before sending your order to Cascade Dafo—your complete inventory of footplates stays at your clinic.
