Build-up Blocks, Child

Build-up Blocks are child-sized lift measurement blocks used to help determine whether a patient may need heel lifts to equalize limb length. They are a practical choice for clinical evaluation when checking uneven leg length and assessing lift height during fitting. The blocks are lightweight, stack inside the Build-up Shoe, and can be secured to either foot with hook and loop straps if walking with added elevation is required.
