Hinged AFO

Hinged AFOs have a mechanical ankle joint usually preventing plantar flexion, but allowing relatively full dorsiflexion during the stance phase of gait. They provide a more normal gait because they permit dorsiflexion in stance phase of the gait, thus making it easier to walk on uneven surfaces and stairs. This is the best AFO for most ambulatory patients

SMO

The SMO gets its name from the part of the body it encompasses.Thus this orthosis supports the leg just above the ankle bone or malleoli.

It prescribes this orthosis in cases where there is mild weakness in the dorsiflexors combined with significant collapse of the foot and ankle.

It allows dorsiflexion and plantar flexion(toes up and toes down) but eliminates mediolateral movement. The SMO helps improve standing, balance and walking.

Solid AFO

The solid or rigid AFO allows no ankle motion, it covers the back of the leg completely and extends from just below the fibular head to metatarsal heads. The solid AFO enables heel strike in the stance phase and toe clearance in the swing phase. It can improve knee stability in ambulatory children. It also provides control of varus/ valgus deformity. Solid AFOs provides ankle stability in the standing frame in non-ambulatory children.

GRAFO

Sometimes called a Floor Reaction AFO, the GRAFO is used to control instabilities in the lower limb by maintaining proper alignment of limbs and controlling their motion. It is often used to try and maintain the length of the hamstring and prevent crouch gait which is one of the most prevalent of movement disorders among children with cerebral palsy.

Crouch gait is characterised by excessive knee flexion during stance, this substantially increases the energy requirements of walking and, if not corrected, can lead to chronic knee pain and joint degeneration.

The GRAFO is complex to manufacture and in larger patients will require carbon fibre reinforcement.

UCBL

The medial side is higher than the lateral, holds the calcaneus more firmly, supports the longitudinal arch. Prescribed for hind and midfoot instability.

Rest AFO

AFO that used at night time or in patient who can’t ambulate, this AFO aims to keep the joint in neutral position as long as possible or can be used to keep the progress of physiotherapy treating the sparsity and rigidity of the muscles.

Mermaid Splint

This Splint is designed for correction of axial deformities of the knees like Varum & Valgum

Helps to correct Genu Valgum. Mild deformities of the limb can be treated.

Night KAFO

Plastic resting KAFOs extend from below the hips to the toes and stabilise the ankle joint as well as the knee. They are more rigid and provide better support to the ankle and the knee in the early postoperative phase.

KAFOs used through the night or for standing purposes. Normally used through the process of rehabilitation program to enhance the muscle recovery or to maintain the achieved progress

KAFO with Joints

Plastic KAFOs with attaching a Mechanical knee joint and mechanical ankle joint to allow movement and ambulation of the patient with the appropriate level of ambulation of the patient.

C-Brace

Computer-controlled orthotronic mobility system

The computer-controlled C-Brace® KAFO opens up entirely new possibilities for freedom of movement. Flexing the leg under load, for example while sitting down, negotiating slopes, walking over uneven terrain or going down stairs step-over-step – the C-Brace® orthotronic mobility system is the first to make it all possible.

And the new C-Brace® offers additional advantages: it’s smaller and can also be worn under clothing; it’s lighter and the user doesn’t need to exert as much effort when walking. New sensor technology makes the entire gait pattern even more dynamic and responsive.

The user can also change settings on their joint – such as switching to cycling mode – using a smartphone app. Like the technician, the user also benefits from a considerably simplified fitting process. The technician can now fabricate the C-Brace® directly using two different fabrication methods and also configure individual user settings via a tablet.

Steel Calliper

Components of Steel, leather, aluminium and mechanical joint to introduce light weight yet durable device that will assists the walking process easily and safely

E-Mag

E-MAG electronically controlled knee joint system

The E-MAG Active was developed for users who, due to paresis or a complete failure of the knee extensor muscles, are unable to stabilise their knee joint unassisted.

An intelligent sensor system measures the leg position while walking and controls the orthosis joint accordingly. Therefore the knee joint is unlocked automatically while walking: the leg can swing freely.

The PreLock function securely locks your knee joint for the stance phase even if you have not fully extended your leg yet. You can stand safely and walk more naturally with the E-MAG Active.

Even users who have no ankle functionality whatsoever are able to use the E-MAG Active.
