I have received many replies to my post and the same question came up a few times.  I do not use these on kids with tone, spasticity or plantarflexion tightness.  These are used almost exclusively for toe walking (can also be used for mild, no tone, drop foot).
 
I forgot to mention something in the post and the video.  I was shown this design by Jim Havran, CO.  I believe this is his invention.  He told me he saw something similar at Cascade, the DAFO guys, but I never found it there.  Must be his.  I hate saying nice things about my competition, but he is a good guy and very talented practitioner.  Ow, that hurt.  lol
 
I'll post relevant replies soon for those interested.  Kevin
 
Thanks Paul.
