BMI, a manufacturer of custom and pre-fabricated lower extremity bracing systems, is transforming the Orthotics & Prosthetics (O&P) industry, by leading dramatic changes in clinical practice methods, engineering breakthrough product designs, leveraging technology to streamline manufacturing, and achieving breakthroughs in patient outcomes never before seen in the O&P Industry. BMI was established 4 years ago by reorganizing a 12-year-old traditional custom lower extremity orthotic manufacturer. This new company has a mission to lead the industry in a transformation from an “Art Studio” manufacturing environment, applying traditional clinical approaches, using traditional brace designs, to a “technology based” environment that evolves both product design and clinical application. This transformation is setting new standards in quality, efficiency and effectiveness in the industry. BMI has based the DRAFO® Program on a scientifically validated approach to alignment, balance and gait biomechanics that revolutionizes orthotic lower extremity outcomes. The DRAFO® Program encompasses a completely new clinical approach; a unique product line with a simple design and complex functionality, comprehensive clinical education modules, effective outcomes validation with simple measurement tools, and optimized reimbursement for practitioners. The result has been exciting breakthroughs in pediatric cerebral palsy patient outcomes that have expanded to broader pediatric conditions. This evidenced based approach in pediatrics has been at the core of the new evolution of adult and senior custom DRAFO® products that offer a superior alternative to traditional leather ankle gauntlets.
