FOOT-TOP

ACTIVE AFO BRACE FOR FOOT DROP WITH INSOLE

Description

Foot drop

Foot drop

Foot drop is the neurological condition causes the inability to lift the front part of the foot. People suffering from this, drag their toes along the ground, that’s why they lift their knee high or swing their leg in a wide arc.

Foot drop

The foot drop is the result of extensors muscles weakness or paralysis. There is 3 reasons:

  • peroneal nerve injury
  • spine and brain disorders
  • muscles conditions

Peroneal nerve injury descends along the lateral side of the popliteal fossa to the head of the fibula and allows to lift the foot. Because of location it’s very easy to damage in result of sport injury and hip or knee replacement surgery.

Foot drop can strike at any age and can happen to one foot or both feet at the same time. Treatment for it will depend on the cause: physical therapy is used to strengthen muscles and surgery may be recommended to try to repair a damaged nerve. Early treatment may improve chances of recovery. No matter what’s the type of injury, the lightweight braces are the most common treatment.

To order that, we created excellent AFO brace called FOOT-TOP (OSS-OS-02). It has special insert that lifts the foot and it’s very comfortable and invisible under the clothes.

Product’s description

AFO brace FOOT-TOP (OSS-OS-02) improves to muscles functions by support the active gait for people with muscle weakness and nerves degenerations or other disorders.

The brace is made of AeroSpace™.

Rubbers made of AirRubber III™

Side insert made of ActiveSpace™

AFO brace FOOT-TOP (OSS-OS-02) is equipped with semi-rigid insole supports to lifting the foot. The brace is lightweight and elastic, because of innovative fabrics and technologists. It’s durable and dynamic. By using FOOT-TOP systematically, you can achieve the correct gait pattern and avoid abnormal compensated gait.

FOOT-TOP improves the gait dynamics and corrects the foot inversion by active straps. When you achieve the correct gait pattern, your iliopsoas and gluteal muscles work actively. The brace improves the calf muscle pump what increase the blood flow.

High quality of our fabric and physiological brace construction cause high comfort of use and effectiveness.

Our FOOT-TOP brace is a modular device, so it fits to every body size precisely. You can order soft part of brace and insole size separately.

Technology

MATERIALS

ActiveSpace™

ActiveSpace™ is a spacer, polyamide 3D lamination with high skin ventilation. It is very lightweight, consisted of 2 layers. Between them, we use polyamide braids. ActiveSpace™ is not elastic what improves stabilization. Inside the lamination, between 2 layers, the air flows freely, maintaining minimal water and moisture absorption. Waterproof material.

ActiveSpace™

AeroSpace™

AeroSpace™ is an innovative new generation raw material. It is a distance elastic 3D knitted fabric consisting of two layers of facings and an interlacing that creates the appropriate thickness of the raw material and has relieving properties. The knitwear is made of the highest quality polyester yarn - guaranteeing high mechanical strength and spandex ensuring its proper flexibility. This material is characterized by a very low weight, high flexibility and a very large openwork structure, allowing for very easy drainage of sweat from the body and bringing fresh air to the skin. Products made of this raw material are neutral to the secured joint, do not heat or cool it, but ensure its proper compression and fit and reduce muscle vibrations generated during physical exertion. Its thickness and 3D structure perfectly relieves the orthopedic splints, stays or other elements mounted on the product and guarantees velvety softness to the touch.

AirRubber III™

AirRubber III™ has unidirectional elasticity. It can be stretched, increasing the length, not width, what improves compression. Between the braids air flows freely and skin can breathe. In addition in high compression, these rubber braids provide a gentle massage for skin. Our orthopedic rubber is very friendly for skin.

TECHNOLOGICAL SYSTEMS

STIFFENINGS

ABS sole insole

The orthosis insert is made of ABS and is available in many sizes, in right and left version. Thanks to the stiffness of the insole, the foot is lifted on the sole of the entire surface. The profiled back shell is made of a polyethylene, it easily adjusts to the shape of the limb and stiffens the orthosis in the rear part, thanks to which the collar of the orthosis does not slide down while walking.

Sole insole

Plastic stays

They come in various widths and thicknesses, are made of various types of plastics, such as polyamide, ABS or acrylic, and these features determine their stiffness. Thanks to their design, they are resistant to water, moisture and sweat. Products equipped with them can be washed without having to remove them from the orthosis. Our plastic stays work only in one direction, perfectly stabilize the laterally protected part of the body, adjusting to it at the same time and have a memory function, thanks to which they always return to their original shape. This function causes the stays in the orthosis to stabilize the swollen limb immediately after the injury and after the swelling has come off. The plastic stays cannot bend and that is why, they cannot correct the body posture or the secured joint.

Shin support

Stiffeners of thin ABS

Stiffeners made of a thin ABS plate are very light and protect the correct shape of the brace, but do not stiffen individual parts of the patient's body. The brace has the correct circumferential shape, but does not have the compensating and stiffening function of the protected joints and other protected parts of the body.
