Hx of SMO

Don McGovern

Dear Colleagues,
I have been searching the literature for the first mention of the SMO.  I have come up empty, it seems everything I have found so far mentions SMOs as a common device.  My recollection is SMOs came about from PTs trying to stabilize feet with low temp materials so they brought the more flexible material higher and wrapped it around the foot more.  But I have found nothing in the lit to confirm that story.
If you have any ideas to pursue I would appreciate knowing them.
Thank you,
Don McGovern, CPO, FAAOP
