This is a very nice design and all, but it is very limited in depth. It really only helps individuals with poor muscular development / control. It has no corrective ability for anything other than typically shaped and oriented legs. (i.e. it will not help an individual with bowed, minorly malformed, or slightly deformed legs.. nor will it really help with gait issues.)

Like I said, its a nice design all and all.. but it could have been thought out a little bit more than it was. Of course it could be used as a good starting point for other similar projects.
