Can be worn barefoot as well as with shoes • Flexible
Dynamic pronation strap • Corrects supination
Can be used as both a day or night splint • Prevents contractures
Indications
Suitable for drop foot, particularly that associated with acute supination of the foot due to spasticity e.g.:
following as stroke
traumatic brain injury
with multiple sclerosis
neuromuscular atrophy
isolated peroneal paralysis
Effects
Thermoplastic ankle foot orthosis for the treatment of patients with an acute supination position of the foot and/or with the beginnings of emerging spasticity
The support provided by the closure straps, combined with the elastic pronation strap provides effective correction, even with acute hypertonicity in the calf muscles
The elastic strap can yield to the pressure when spasticity occurs and, after relaxation, continues to hold the foot in a neutral position
