Ankle brace for falling foot, rigid REFLEX AFO - Ersamed SL-903

The SL-903 REFLEX AFO is the ideal solution for patients who suffer from weakness or lack of dorsiflexion of the foot as it helps them maintain the mobility they need in their daily lives. The orthosis has excellent spring properties in the front and heel parts, ideally stabilizes on the lower leg. Stable support of the splint in the area of ​​the anterior edge of the tibia, support of the pelotte in the area of ​​the lower part of the tibia, in the area of ​​the proximal metaphyses of the tibia.

The orthosis prevents the foot from falling off during the swing phase. Much easier to navigate uneven terrain and climb stairs. The risk of additional injuries and falls is reduced, the orthosis prevents the shoe from getting caught in the toe - obstacles such as a threshold, a stone, the edge of a carpet, etc.

The orthosis is light and beautiful, so it is not noticeable under clothes. The orthosis should be used with rigid and durable shoes. We recommend that you first insert the orthosis into the shoe, and then insert the foot into it. Thus, the orthosis acts like a shoe horn. After putting on the brace, make sure that the Velcro straps used to attach the brace to the limb are tight enough around the leg. This prevents unnecessary displacement of the orthosis and possible abrasions on the epidermis.

AFO, used for dropped foot and ankle instability, also affects the knee joint. When the patient touches the ground with the heel and raises the center of gravity, the top of the brace causes the knee to flex. The SL-903 REFLEX AFO brace helps flex the knee with spastic knee extensors and reduces knee hyperextension.
