The Posterior Spring -Energy Storing AFO
This Ankle Foot Orthosis is designed to replace the function of the calf muscles. This AFO is custom made
to a cast of the patient in a corrected position. This design offers control in all three planes. Correction to
valgus/varus ankle , correction to internal/external rotation of the foot in relation to the knee and Positioning the leg at 90* on a heel-height that matches the patients shoe wear. The sagittal alignment insures rebound to occur effectively during stance.
This design offer the greatest ROM including rotational range.
Common Pathological Application:
CMT and Spina-bifida (ambulatory), Complete or partial replacement of the calf with complicating varus/
valgus ankle correction
Foot drop with Calf weakness and absence; complicated by valgus/varus ankle
CP (ambulatory) Standing knee stability without ridged positioning: valgus/varus ankle control
Maximum Compressed Rebound: 150-600 nm

This Ankle Foot Orthosis is designed to replace the function of the calf muscles. There are numerous pathologies and traumatic incidents that impair or complicate the normal calf muscle function. This orthosis
provides normal knee stability in stance for standing balance. It also provides propulsion in late stance
phase of gait, for Propulsion and transfer of weight to the other extremity.
Common Pathological Application:
Foot Drop complicated with weak or absent plantarflexion strength
Absent Plantar flexion
Mild CMT without varus/valgus complications
Maximum Compressed Rebound: 300-350nm

Prefabricated—Energy Storing Foot Drop AFO
This Ankle Foot Orthosis was designed to Que the function of the calf muscles in late stance. Assisting early
swing phase acceleration while maintaining dorsal positioning. This design allows a full normal ROM during
stance phase while maintaining dorsal positioning through swing phase, Toe clearance.
Common Pathological Application:
Foot Drop
Maximum Compressed Rebound: 80-100 nm

Energy Storing Partial Foot Prosthesis
This prosthesis is designed to replace the function of the calf muscles. With the absence of the fore foot the
patient is unable to utilize their calf strength for propulsion. This design allows for the motion of the TaloCrual to flex along with the prosthesis. The plantar surface of the prosthesis, to the end of the toe of the prosthesis is ridged. This eliminates motion in the toe plate that could impinge the distal amputation site. A relative socket is made for the existing mid-foot and heel. This allows for the supination of the midfoot, to reach a
sub-talo neutral alignment of the ankle.
This design offer the greatest ankle ROM including some rotational range.
Casting/Measurements:
Casting from mid-patella is required to preset the alignment of the foot. Place the heel on an elevation equal
to the heel height matching that of the patients shoe. Dropping the mid-foot into plantar position as if the metatarsal heads where in contact with the floor. Attention to correction of any valgus/varus hind foot positioning. Supinate the mid foot and mold tissue I anticipation of a fit to the desired shoe wear.
Pathological Application:
Complete trans metatarsal amputation
Liz Franc amputation
Chopart amputation
Maximum Compressed Rebound: 400-600 nm

Energy Storing Ankle Gauntlet
The orthosis is comprised of a Ortho-Flex molded inner boot and a Pre-Preg Carbon Fiber exo-structure. The inner boot is adjustable and washable.
The exo-structure has two uprights that cross the ankle and a foot plate that extends to the metatarsal heads. The uprights have a unique “Oblique” orientation to the ankle. This orientation combined with Pre-Preg Carbon fiber provides a small amount of motion with an increasing resistance.
Functional Benefit:
With this small amount of controlled motion the patient is supported while allowing just enough motion to Balance and walk with a reasonable gait. The ramp-up of the resistance is the key.
The orthosis is Washable, Adjustable and Easy to Don
