The product comprises a footplate, a posterior strut, and a calf piece. A simple velcro strapping system facilitates donning and doffing. The product is provided with silicone padding and a thermo-formable tube covering the heel part of the posterior spring. This combination results in easier donning of the AFO and prevents damage of the padding in this vulnerable area.
An elastic band connects the separate calf piece to the posterior spring. This connection allows semi controlled upward and downward motion in synchronisation with ankle plantar flexion and dorsal flexion. Excessive rubbing and migration of the calf-piece from the calf are, therefore, reduced. This product is available in black only.
