Ankle support AM-OSS-25

                                  FOOT-DROP                    PLANTAR FASCIITIS FOOT BRACE

1)Foot drop

The brace allows the correct gait pattern to be maintained in the presence of weakened function of the lower limbs, known as a foot drop. The use of 8-figure straps, allows the inversion and eversion movement of the foot and gait ergonomics to be maintained. The brace perfectly improves dorsiflexion of the foot, thereby reducing the risk of tripping and falling and increasing safety.

The brace with a 8-figure straps is recommended for people suffering from foot drop after a stroke, in neurological disorders, muscle or nerve injuries, spinal cord injuries, multiple sclerosis, etc. The orthosis prevents overload by providing adequate support to improve gait and mobility.

Foot drop is the neurological condition causes the inability to lift the front part of the foot. People suffering from this, drag their toes along the ground, that’s why they lift their knee high or swing their leg in a wide arc.

The foot drop is the result of extensors muscle weakness or paralysis. There are 3 reasons:

• peroneal nerve injury
• spine and brain disorders
• muscles conditions

Peroneal nerve injury descends along the lateral side of the popliteal fossa to the head of the fibula and allows to lift the foot. Because of location it’s very easy to damage in result of sport injury and hip or knee replacement surgery.

Foot drop can strike at any age and can happen to one foot or both feet at the same time. Treatment for it will depend on the cause: physical therapy is used to strengthen muscles and surgery may be recommended to try to repair a damaged nerve. Early treatment may improve chances of recovery. No matter what’s the type of injury, the lightweight braces are the most common treatment.

To order that, we created excellent AFO brace called AM-OSS-25. It has special insert that lifts the foot and it’s very comfortable and invisible under the clothes.

2)Plantar Fasciitis Foot Brace

The brace provides stretch to the tissues that make up the sole of the foot and the Achilles tendon, effectively reducing pain and inflammation.

The plantar fascia is the thick fibrous tissue of the bottom of the foot. The fascia is attached to the heel bone, extends forward towards the toes and acts like a bowstring to maintain the arch of the foot.

Plantar fasciitis is a common foot problem in runners. It starts as a dull, intermittent pain in the heel that can progress to an acute, persistent condition. It usually intensifies in the morning with the first few steps, after sitting or standing, or at the start of a sport or activity.

The brace  keeps the plantar fascia and Achilles tendon in a stretched position during sleep. If the fascia is slightly stretched during sleep, then the fascia is spared the sudden stress that occurs with weight-bearing.

A special X-strap system lifts the forefoot, effectively keeping the Achilles tendon and sole of the foot in a therapeutic stretch.

Product’s description

AFO brace AM-OSS-25 improves to muscles functions by support the active gait for people with muscle weakness and nerves degenerations or other disorders.

The brace is made of UniPren™ and AirRubber III™

AFO brace AM-OSS-25 is equipped with semi-rigid insole supports to lifting the foot.

The brace is lightweight and elastic, because of innovative fabrics and technologists. It’s durable and dynamic. By using AM-OSS-25 systematically, you can achieve the correct gait pattern and avoid abnormal compensated gait.

AM-OSS-25 improves the gait dynamics and corrects the foot inversion by active straps. When you achieve the correct gait pattern, your iliopsoas and gluteal muscles work actively. The brace improves the calf muscle pump what increases the blood flow.

High quality of our fabric and physiological brace construction cause high comfort of use and effectiveness.

The orthosis is equipped with anti-migration silicone to prevent the product from moving during use.

MATERIALS

AirRubber III™

AirRubber III™ has unidirectional elasticity. It can be stretched, increasing the length, not width, what improves compression. Between the braids air flows freely and skin can breathe. In addition in high compression, these rubber braids provide a gentle massage for skin. Our orthopedic rubber is very friendly for skin.

UniPren™

UniPren™ is a universal 3-layer material consisting of an external elastic polyamide cover knit with a self-adhesive function, an internal neoprene foam core and an elastic jersey cover knit. This material is characterized by softness and very high flexibility. A very important advantage of this material is the fact that it is not a knitted product, it does not have thick fibers, so that the weaves of the material do not imprint on the patient's skin and do not cause abrasionsin places of high compression. Products made of UniPren™ are the strongest and most effective stabilizing orthoses available on the market. Self-adhesive function, the raw material makes it much easier to use.

STIFFENINGS

ABS sole insole

The orthosis insert is made of ABS and is available in many sizes, in right and left version. Thanks to the stiffness of the insole, the foot is lifted on the sole of the entire surface. The profiled back shell is made of a polyethylene, it easily adjusts to the shape of the limb and stiffens the orthosis in the rear part, thanks to which the collar of the orthosis does not slide down while walking.
