Dynamic ankle-foot orthosis made of carbon, for lifting the foot with slight anterior
support for the knee joint and for active energy return while walking.
Features and benefits
• Made of carbon fibre prepreg
– Energy is stored and returned during the gait cycle
• Slim design
– Inconspicuous to wear
• Trimable sole
– Straightforward adaptation
• Low weight
– High acceptance
• Shin pads with integrated closures made of climate-regulating material
– Skin-friendly padding, washable and exchangeable
• Anterior support
– Good control at heel strike and toe-off
• Lateral pronation strap
– In conjunction with the lateral pronation strap, it is possible to reduce varus deviation
of the foot and ankle and supination of the forefoot. This should always be supported
by a corrective insole (included in the scope of delivery).
Indications
• Drop foot without or with moderate spasticity
• Minor impairment of the foot lowering musculature and minor impairment of knee
extension
Modes of action
• Promotes a largely symmetrical and fluid physiological gait with support for knee
extension and flexion, depending on what is needed
• Its energy return supports toe-off and heel strike
• Prevents uncontrolled foot contact and foot slap at heel strike and supports knee
extension during toe-off
• Influences the statics in the frontal and sagittal plane when standing due to the alignment of the orthosis
