FAQ
-
How long do I need to wear the orthosis each day?
If you suffer from pain syndromes or injuries of the cervical spine, the orthosis stabilises and immobilises the cervical spine.
-
Is the orthosis suitable for sports?
Generally yes. Water and contact sports are an exception, however. These types of sports should be avoided to prevent placing your fellow players at risk of injury.
-
What shoes should I wear with the Agilium Freestep?
We recommend sturdy footwear that extends a maximum of 5 cm above the ankle, ideally with a removable inner sole. Hiking sandals are also suitable. However, shoes with a heel should generally be avoided if you have arthritis.
-
How will I be able to tell that the orthosis is helping me?
The orthosis helps to relieve pain. This can increase your mobility and enable you to cover longer distances.
-
Why can’t the orthosis slip?
The orthosis is worn in your shoe, which guarantees a secure hold. The orthosis is also fixed to the leg with a skin-friendly strap.
