Lower-extremity support AM-OSS-21/CCA

Foot drop

A normal gait pattern is crucial for walking. In correct case the knee extends such that the lower leg swings forward with the foot flexed and raised upward (dorsal flexion) in order to clear the ground. Unfortunately, due to injuries or neurological disorders, the peroneal nerve is damaged or paralysed and the front part of the foot cannot be lifted. This causes the toes to drag along the ground while walking and this condition is called ‘foot drop’. The nerve may be damaged in many ways: after car or sport accident, due to diabetes, stroke or congenital disease such as cerebral palsy.

To avoid dragging the toes, people with foot drop may lift their knee higher than normal or they may swing their leg in a wide arc. This situation may cause serious knee, hip and spinal joints strain.

The treatment of the foot drop is not easy. If the nerve was damaged due to injury or accident, it may be managed with surgery. However, if the foot is dropped due to brain problems (stroke, CP, etc.), the problem with raising the foot may be chronic. Because of this, the most effective and the fastest way of treatment is using professional foot drop brace AM-OSS-21/CCA.

3D supports

3D relief supports are independent technical solutions to relieve the rigid elements of a given orthosis. These elements are made of supporting foams or EVA foam. These foams are connected with various types of skin-friendly materials and materials with an adhesive function. These pads have the appropriate shape and color adapted to the type of orthosis. They relieve both metal elements of orthoses, such as splints, stays, underwires and orthopedic drop locks, as well as other elements that should not come into direct contact with the patient's skin. These pads have an anatomical shape and are made of comfortable foam with proper hardness and elasticity, guaranteeing the proper therapeutic effect.
