Age is not important. It's energy that counts. Traditional ankle foot orthoses provide a measure of support, but people leading busy lives need something more. Ossur has taken the best of its Flex-FootŪ technology and incorporated carbon fiber into the new AFO Dynamic. For real energy return and a confident, more efficient walk, look no further.
Ossur AFO Dynamic provides a strong, lightweight solution for patients with drop foot secondary to a variety of neurological conditions. The energy storing properties of carbon fiber make it ideal material for this dynamic ankle foot orthosis.
Indications: Indications:
Drop Foot secondary to: - CVA (Cerebral Vascular Accident or Stroke)
- MS (Multiple Sclerosis)
- Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease
- Other neurological conditions
- Mild knee instability
Contra-indications:
- Severe ankle/foot deformities
- Severe spasticity
- Fluctuation edema
Features and benefits
Pre-impregnated carbon fiber - Dynamic motion
- Energy return
- High durability
- Excellent weight to strength ratio
- Lightweight
Footplate design - Stiffness gradient at heel and toe part corresponds to ground reaction forces as they are applied to the foot
Gait assistance - Gradual plantar flexion at initial contact
- Medio-lateral stability at mid-stance
- Energy return and assisted propulsion of the limb at toe off
- Supports the foot for ground-clearance during swing phase
Profile - Medial strut makes it less visible
- Simple strap mechanism
- Open structure on anterior tibia shell
Textile - Textile cover on outside of AFO and inside of footplate provides a pleasant cosmetic appearance and keeps fiber residues from coming into contact with the skin
