Ankle and foot orthosis OP1197 series

articulateddynamic

Dynamic orthosis made of flexible thermoplastic (LDPE), comprising an internal part that surrounds the tibial and fibular malleoli, which is in contact with the entire plantar surface. With articulated monocentric joints, protected internally with polyethylene foam, and the possibility of easily adjusting the dorsiflexion limit. It encloses the entire perimeter of the midfoot, ensuring that the orthosis fits the foot correctly, while optimising containment of the tissues. The fastening system allows a comfortable and firm adaptation and an adequate fit while preventing movement between the foot and the orthosis. Very lightweight and with a trimmable hem, its low profile design is easy to adjust in the shoe. To ensure greater comfort, pads for the toes and the dorsal midfoot are included. Effects: Restricts plantar flexion so the foot doesn’t drag during the swing phase. Enables an adjustment of the ankle angle. Realigns the foot and offers mid lateral support. Makes walking easier and allows greater movement than with a fixed brace. Indications: Impaired or weakened dorsiflexion. Excessive plantar flexion. A hyperextended knee. Instability as a result of low or high muscle tone. A lack of coordination or balance.
