Features & Benefits
The Dynamic Walk Ankle Foot Orthosis (Bilateral) offers innovative support for individuals with foot drop, providing strength, flexibility, and energy return through its thermoplastic carbon fibre design. Unlike traditional AFOs, this advanced material combines the durability of carbon fibre with the re-formable properties of thermoplastic, allowing for custom shaping and trimming to suit individual needs.
The Dynamic Walk’s peak rods are essential for its lifting action, storing and releasing energy to actively lift the foot during the swing phase. Additionally, these rods flex beyond 90º, allowing users to plantarflex naturally, making activities like walking upstairs, crouching, or driving much easier—without needing to adjust or remove the orthosis.
