2. ABOUT US
D-BAR ENTERPRISES, LLC
Dr. MatthewDobbs, MD an Orthopedic Surgeonwho specializes in clubfeet at St. Louis Children’s Hospital
has invented a new dynamic clubfoot brace that finally addresses all of these problems. Parents of children
withclubfeeteverywherearepraisinghisnewbracepatentedasthe“DobbsBar.”TheDobbsBarletschildren
move and kick their legs independently which gives clubfoot kids new-found freedom when it comes to
crawlingandbeingmoreactiveinthebrace.ChildrenfusslessandsleepbetterintheDobbsBarbecauseit’s
more comfortable and less restrictive.The independent movement prevents heel ulcers and keeps the kids
from pulling out of the booties. The results are happier parents, happier kids and improved compliance.
Children can kick and
move their legs indepen-
dently so they can crawl
and be more active.
The independent move-
ment and mobility of
the brace minimizes the
escape potential of the
child pulling out of the
booties.
Increased brace compli-
ance reduces the risk of
relapse.

4. Upgrades and New Part
• Model DCBMD has been replaced with our “Spring Assisted” model SDCBMD, available in
small and regular.
NEWS
• Our conversion kit that was previously converting the DCB models to
DCBMD models has been discontinued. Our conversion kits will only con-
vert the QDCB models to the SDCBMD models.
• All late spring 2015 models will all incorporate an upgraded external rota-
tion disk. This will prevent the external rotation from slipping, and will
now allow the external rotation to be set at every 10 degrees (SDCBMD
model shown).

Easy Guide For The Correct Fit
When fitting your child in the Dobbs Bar you want to make sure that the width of the bar is set cor-
rectly. To figure out exactly how long the bar should be you will need to know the child’s shoulder
width measurement. After this measurement is obtained you will need to adjust the length of the
brace by loosening the Phillips head screws shown in figure A. The distance between screws located
on the bottom of each foot pedal show in the figure B should be proportionate to the child’s shoulder

Community
We believe it is our mission to not only supply the
most revolutionary clubfoot products, but to give
support to those who may be unfamiliar with what
it is to have a child with clubfoot. With more than
40 support groups available through social media
website “Facebook”, parents now have the peace of
mind that they are not alone in their child’s clubfoot
journey. Parents who have joined the clubfoot com-
munity will be able to reach out to our staff, and one
of the team members will respond within hours of
posting their question. Clubfoot parents, who have
experience with their child, and knowledge of their
clubfoot treatment plan, answer most inquiries.
