STATIC FUNCTIONAL ANKLE-FOOT ORTHOSES

Effects: Restricts plantar flexion, preventing the foot from dragging on the ground during the swing phase. Controls plantar flexion and dorsiflexion. Stabilises the foot and improves all phases of the gait cycle. Realigns the entire foot and includes support for the inner longitudinal arch. Optimisation of the capacity to execute voluntary movements of postural balance and gait.

Indications: Hyperextension of the knee. Incapacity or weakness of plantar flexion and/or dorsiflexion. Excessive plantar flexion (toe walking). Instability as a result of low or high muscle tone. Lack of coordination or balance.
