Product Advantages
Precisely matches the rehabilitation process to prevent secondary injury
No need to replace the entire orthosis as muscle strength changes; minor adjustments provide optimal support, preventing disuse atrophy caused by excessive assistance, as well as falls or compensatory gait patterns resulting from insufficient support.
Significantly improves gait and reduces energy expenditure
Dynamic elastic assistance compensates for deficits in active dorsiflexion strength, markedly reducing "circumduction gait" and excessive pelvic hiking; lower oxygen consumption during walking allows patients to walk further and with greater stability.
Prevents secondary deformities and complications
Adjustable fixation settings provide continuous Achilles tendon stretching, preventing tendon shortening and varus deformity caused by foot drop; excellent skin conformity and adjustable pressure distribution significantly lower the risk of pressure ulcers.
Enhances wear compliance and quality of life
A lightweight, breathable, and adjustable design minimizes heat buildup and friction-related discomfort, encouraging long-term use and ensuring effective rehabilitation. A single orthosis meets needs across the acute, recovery, and residual stages, significantly reducing the financial burden.
Streamlines clinical decision-making and training
Therapists can make precise adjustments based on objective parameters and accurately track rehabilitation progress, facilitating the creation of progressive weaning-off protocols and making neuromuscular re-education easier to achieve.
Product Features
Graduated Angle Adjustment: The ankle hinge allows for precise, degree-by-degree settings of dorsiflexion assistance and plantarflexion range of motion, enabling a smooth transition from complete immobilization to free movement.
Adjustable Assist Force: The tension of the built-in elastic assist mechanism (e.g., elastic bands, springs, or shape-memory alloys) can be adjusted to match muscle strength requirements at different recovery stages, preventing excessive thrust or insufficient support.
Controlled Inversion/Eversion: Independent adjustment of medial/lateral straps or hinge inclination effectively corrects issues such as foot inversion or eversion, providing three-dimensional stability.
Absorbs and stores kinetic energy during the stance phase (foot contact) and releases elastic potential energy during the swing phase (leg lift), actively assisting with toe lift to make walking less strenuous and gait more natural.
The anterior tibial shell, footplate, and straps can be independently removed or repositioned to accommodate varying leg circumferences, foot shapes, and changes due to edema. The skin-friendly, moisture-wicking liner is removable and washable for hygiene maintenance.
Constructed from lightweight materials such as carbon fiber, aerospace-grade aluminum alloy, or medical-grade thermoplastic sheets; offers a balance of high rigidity and low weight to avoid placing an extra burden on the affected limb.
Configurable for dynamic walking assistance during the day; at night, the hinge can be locked in a fixed position to gently stretch the Achilles tendon and prevent contracture, offering a versatile, multi-purpose solution.
Product Applicability
Applicable Conditions
· Central Nervous System Injuries: Lower motor neuron-type or spastic foot drop resulting from conditions such as stroke, traumatic brain injury, incomplete spinal cord injury, cerebral palsy, or multiple sclerosis.
· Peripheral Neuropathy: Impaired ankle dorsiflexion caused by common peroneal nerve palsy, injury to sciatic nerve branches, diabetic peripheral neuropathy, etc.
· Muscle and Soft Tissue Issues: Recovery phase following partial tear of the tibialis anterior muscle; mild Achilles tendon contracture (can be used in conjunction with stretching); chronic ankle instability requiring dorsiflexion assistance.
· Post-Orthopedic Surgery Transition: Patients requiring restricted movement and gradual range-of-motion increases following procedures such as Achilles tendon lengthening or ankle fracture/ligament reconstruction.
Target Users and Scenarios
· Comprehensive Rehabilitation Coverage: Provides strong external support during the flaccid paralysis stage (when dorsiflexion is absent); alleviates tension during the spastic stage via adjustable fixation angles; reduces assistance gradually during the recovery stage as muscle strength returns, encouraging active contraction.
· Adults and Older Children: Size-adjustment modules allow the device to fit patients across different age groups who require ongoing rehabilitation adjustments (subject to component size compatibility).
· Diverse Activity Scenarios: Suitable for indoor standing/walking training, short-distance community walking, and static wear at night to prevent foot drop contracture. Certain lightweight models fit inside standard wide-opening athletic shoes, facilitating social participation.
Precautions and Contraindications
· Suitability for treatment requires professional assessment in cases of uncontrolled severe spasticity or clonus, fixed ankle joint contracture deformity, severe osteoporosis, extensive local skin breakdown or infection, or severe cognitive impairment preventing cooperation with adjustments.
