Ankle and foot orthosis WalkOn

Foot drop can occur after a stroke, traumatic brain injury, or result of multiple sclerosis, neuromuscular atrophy, or peroneal paralysis. Lightweight and durable, the WalkOn ankle foot orthosis is designed to help lift and support light to severe drop foot. This lower leg orthosis will allow you to complete everyday tasks, like walking up and down stairs, easily and more naturally. You won’t have to worry about your orthosis being seen either—the sleek and discreet design ensures you can fit the WalkOn inside any shoe or under any pant leg. This is precisely what the WalkOn does. It helps to lift the foot during the swing phase, making the gait safer again while reducing the risk of stumbling and falling. The tip of the foot no longer gets caught as easily on small obstacles or uneven ground. People with permanent dorsiflexor weakness depend on a medical aid that lifts their foot while walking. That is precisely what the WalkOn does. It helps lift the foot during the swing phase, so that the gait becomes safer again while the risk of stumbling and falling is reduced. The tip of the foot no longer gets caught as easily on small obstacles or uneven ground. The ankle foot orthosis is made of a modern carbon fibre prepreg material which is very lightweight. There is a carbon fibre spring at the back that extends from the Achilles tendon to the calf. For users with residual musculature, the WalkOn provides support while walking. At toe-off the orthosis releases previously stored energy so that walking becomes smoother. The ankle joint is stabilised at the same time. People with permanent drop foot depend on a device that lifts their foot while walking.
