Ankle and foot orthosis AM-ASS-OS

LMS

The CarbonAFO (AM-ASS-OS) from Reh4Mat is an extremely lightweight and durable AFO designed with the same advanced materials that have revolutionized the aviation, auto and boat racing industries. Each orthosis is vacuum molded to orthopedic specifications with carbon weave, Kevlar fibers, advanced resins and rugged gelcoats. Using the flexibility of carbon and the durability of Kevlar allows us to create the most durable and long lasting orthosis on the market. The CARBONAFO orthosis is an ideal solution for patients suffering from neurological deficits and weakness of the muscles that provide dorsal flexion of the foot and ankle (foot drop). The orthosis supports normal gait function for daily activities. Patients suffering from reduced dorsal flexion capacity will compensate the deficit by raising the hip (hip hike) — that could result in various injuries to the hip, knee, back and other healthy parts of the body. The carbon fiber and Kevlar properties also assist with dynamic and natural gait — regardless of the type of ground. Furthermore, the anterior shell and medial strut help to stabilize the ankle while the full length foot plate effectively lifts the foot. The carbon fiber composite stores and returns energy that helps the patient spare energy use and reduces fatigue.
