What are the Benefits of Using Ankle-Foot Orthosis Brace
-
The Comfy Boot Orthosis provides an effective support for the foot by eliminating pressure and friction on the heel. It redistributes ground reaction forces and realigns foot joints for comfortable standing and walking. All that allows patients to enhance blood circulation for better healing.
-
Besides, the ankle-foot orthosis features a rubber sole that prevents slips. So, patients can be on the firm ground while walking.
-
The fleece-lined cover additionally protects and cushions the heel. In addition, it helps to maintain skin integrity and draw moisture away from the skin. To keep the orthosis clean, just remove the soft fleece-lined cover and wash it in the machine.
-
The splint frame is intended to resist and control plantar flexion and hence provide a dynamic extension to the joints. Using the Comfy Boot Orthosis you can correct foot drop, contractures, and deformity of the foot-ankle. For more support and comfort, adjust and readjust straps.
-
To accommodate variation in foot sizes and reduce pressure on the toes, there is an adjustable toe post. If a patient has a wide calf or the foot circumference has increased because of edema, use the included extender kit. It allows for accommodating the orthosis for the injured foot.
-
With the Comfy Boot Orthosis, it's also possible to control hip and leg rotation. Use a special rotator bar on the side which is hidden under the fleece cover.
