For the fabrication of dynamic ankle foot orthoses
Benefits at a glance
Your choice of shoes
Depending on the complexity of the requirements, you can wear normal shoes (heel height 10 to 30 mm).
Individual design
The orthoses are tailored to you according to your requirements.
Conserve strength
The energy generated during heel strike is stored and returned again at toe-off.
Walk naturally
Just like the natural foot, the carbon spring is turned slightly outwards while walking. It also supports your movements – extension of the knee and hip joint. This makes it possible for you to walk naturally.
Being active
Are you very active or participate in sports, so that your orthosis needs to provide support especially for quickly changing running and walking speeds? The Carbon Ankle Seven is built exactly for your requirements. Children in particular benefit from this.
