KevinRoot Medical

KevinRoot Medical is a precision orthotic manufacturing and clinical technology company founded in 1959 by Dr. Merton Root, who pioneered the functional orthotic approach to biomechanical treatment. The company manufactures custom foot orthoses and ankle-foot orthoses (AFOs) based on 3D volumetric scanning technology via its FootID Pro platform, which captures detailed foot geometry for patient-specific device fabrication. KevinRoot Medical offers eight custom foot orthosis configurations (Root, Active, Dress, Therapeutic, UCBL, Military, Sport Specific, and Pathology) designed for biomechanical control, pressure redistribution, and performance support. The company also manufactures brace systems including the Turbomed XTERN dynamic AFO, Richie Brace for posterior tibial tendon dysfunction (PTTD) and ankle instability, Gauntlet Brace for severe deformity, and Traditional AFO designs. With over 845 modification options per device, KevinRoot Medical delivers highly customized orthotics with 24-hour rapid turnaround. The company serves podiatrists, physical therapists, orthopedic surgeons, athletic organizations (including the LA Lakers and Chicago Marathon medical team), and military personnel. Clinical decision-support tools help providers match orthotic designs to biomechanical control needs, pressure redistribution requirements, and performance demands. KevinRoot Medical operates within a broader ecosystem including FootID Pro (prescription platform), LearnBIQ (biomechanics education), WalkLab (movement health brand), and GoMFO (clinician-recommended orthotics retail).
