The Kinetec 5090, for treatment of the idiopathic club foot, restores or maintains ankle and subtalar mobility in addition to preventing fibrosis and periarticular soft tissue induration. Pre-operative mobilisation eliminates the need for surgery in certain cases. In other cases the improvement in mobility of the club foot makes the operation easier. The apparatus may also be used in the post-operative phase of treatment.

Indications
For any joint stiffness of the foot, whether congenital or acquired, as long as the articular surfaces are normal or only slightly deformed.

Treatment:
In a hospital setting: The device is best used during inpatient treatment in paediatric surgical service, or specialist rehabilitation service under the supervision of the surgeon and physiotherapist.
At home: To reduce the cost of treatment, the device may be used for home treatment.
