  • Seven years ago, Matej’s and Mateja’s son Nik was born one month prematurely. Due to difficulties during childbirth, he suffered severe brain damage that led to cerebral palsy. Despite the grim initial outlook, Nik was tremendously motivated to be mobile but the symptoms of his condition prevented him from standing or walking on his own.
    Matej set out with a simple goal: to enable Nik to walk. Months of research and development followed, resulting in a custom-made, 3D printed orthosis that provides support and correction exactly where Nik needs them, which finally helped him take his first steps independently.

    I never make public comments on hardly anything... But I had to make an exception for this. @Matej - this is truly one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. You have found a way to use technology to fundamentally and substantially improve people’s lives... starting with your own son. God Bless You.

    Amazing work. My brother suffered from Cerebral Palsy and something like this would have been immensely helpful. You've given your son an amazing start in life.

    i was recently thinking about this. Orthosis has to be personalized. Lots of times i refer to a so called expert but people tend to complain. Im glad I ran into this video. Now to find more tech information about it.

    My daughter and son suffer from this foot condition. My daughter is fortunate to have medical insurance and has an orthotic being made by her podiatrist. I'm in the process of getting my son's medical insurance and hope he will get what he needs also. It's extremely painful to have your foot in this position.

    Thank you.
    I have diagnosed my grandson with CP and ordered a foot orthotic since it seems that his right side is affected.
    It is difficult to find anything for a baby's hand but I decided to order a child-size and see if I can modify it.
    He is six months since he was born but he was born two months early.
    I have been doing exercises and other things to help him. I am not going to wait until he is a year or 18 months before he is diagnosed.
    Has anyone ever tried acupressure? Thank you❤
    I will keep this in mind if I should need Orthotics when he begins to walk.
    I am going to try scalp acupuncture if I can find someone that will work on a baby. Has anyone done it for their child who has c p?
