More About This Product
AliMed® Carbon Fiber AFOs Lighter, thinner and stronger than traditional plastic AFO braces, AliMed's Carbon Fiber AFOs help manage footdrop, provide stability at mid-stance, and help propel the patient through the gait cycle without sacrificing comfort or appearance. With contact only at the footplate and cuff area, there is no contact in the critical pressure point areas; this, along with reduced heat buildup, enhances overall comfort. The dynamic footplate and strut store and release energy to assist patient through the gait cycle, adding strength with structurally reinforced high-stress areas. Footplates have 10 -15º of forefoot lift beginning around the met heads, yet still allow foot orthotics to be placed over it. Open heel design helps eliminate pressure injuries.
Anterior Lateral Struts accommodate a wide range of calf circumferences. “Y” proximal anterior trimline relieves the tibial tuberosity and mid-tibia area. One-Piece with continuous strand does not excessively push out of the shoe. Washable, slip-on upper tibia liner. Trimmable double strapping system. For patients who have medial ankle instability or that evert, pronate, or have valgus.
