Restriction of plantarflexion (or dorsiflexion and plantarflexion when tibial strap is used)

Toe walking
Transfers for non-ambulatory patients when used with a proximal strap
Not recommended for:
Patients who benefit from having more sagittal plane flexibility
Patients with knee flexion instability (when proximal strap is removed)
