Ossur® AFO
Dynamic


L1932
Ankle Brace

Age is not important. It’s energy that counts. Traditional ankle foot orthoses provide a measure of support, but people leading busy lives need something more. Ossur has taken the best of its Flex-Foot® technology and incorporated carbon fiber into the new AFO Dynamic. For real energy return and a confident, more efficient walk, look no further.
Ossur AFO Dynamic provides a strong, lightweight solution for patients with drop foot secondary to a variety of neurological conditions. The energy storing properties of carbon fiber make it ideal material for this dynamic ankle foot orthosis.

Indications:
Drop Foot secondary to:

  • CVA (Cerebral Vascular Accident or Stroke)
  • MS (Multiple Sclerosis) 
  • Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease
  • Other neurological conditions

Contra-indications:

  • Severe ankle/foot deformities
  • Severe spasticity
  • Fluctuation edema

Features and benefits
Pre-impregnated carbon fiber

  • Dynamic motion
  • Energy return
  • High durability
  • Excellent weight to strength ratio
  • Lightweight

Footplate design

  • Stiffness gradient at heel and toe part corresponds to ground reaction forces as they are applied to the foot

Gait assistance

  • Gradual plantar flexion at initial contact
  • Medio-lateral stability at mid-stance
  • Energy return and assisted propulsion of the limb at toe off
  • Supports the foot for ground-clearance during swing phase

Profile 

  • Medial strut makes it less visible
  • Simple strap mechanism
  • Open structure on anterior tibia shell

Textile 

  • Textile cover on outside of AFO and inside of footplate provides a pleasant cosmetic appearance and keeps fiber residues from coming into contact with the skin
