It is important that we establish technical standards in custom orthotics in Canada. Emily Enright and Helen Cochrane have developed the Boundless Bracing Quality Assurance Tool for application within orthotics practices. Through use of this tool we plan generate a collective set data that will help us to provide the necessary evidence that we as a profession consistently achieve high levels of technical quality.
Meet Vanessa, and The Next Generation of Orthotic Researchers
In an effort to further strengthen evidence based practice in the field of orthotic bracing Boundless Biomechanical Bracing Inc. continues to investigate the use of outcome measures. Outcome measures provide a way in which clinicians can track changes in patient health, performance and quality of life.

Run, Sing and Giggle with Agape and her Orthoses
Anna’s voice was full of joy as we spoke about her daughter Agape at her recent follow-up consultation. That could have had something to do with the fact that Agape was singing in the background throughout most of our chat together.
The first time I met Agape was when I worked at the front desk of the Boundless clinic. I remember a young girl with a big personality, great smile and short childish pigtails to match. Since then, nothing seems to have changed much. Anna describes Agape as a child who is full of life—joyful, compassionate and reflective.
New Study Asks: "how do ankle-foot orthoses affect balance on ramps?"
Masters student Jenny Bautista talks to us about her ongoing research at the Toronto Rehabilitation Institute. They are interested in better understanding how wearing an ankle-foot orthosis impacts balance while walking up ramps.
