  • Integrated Angle and Force Sensors constantly monitor the weight of the user and the angle between knee and thigh, providing real-time information about the speed and movement of the prosthesis, as well as ground reaction forces and any bending movements.

  • By recognizing even the subtlest changes in movement, the sensor technology in the PROPRIO FOOT with EVO enables an appropriate and immediate response to variations in ground surface and activity.

  • A plastic AFO is generally used with patients suffering from neurological or orthopedic conditions. Examples of neurological conditions would be stroke, multiple sclerosis and cerebral palsy. In these cases, the AFO functions by maintaining the affected joints in proper alignment to overcome weakness or muscle imbalance.

  • These braces are generally used for patients who have neuromuscular imbalance and are most commonly used for patients experiencing "foot drop" after low back injuries or surgery.Neuromuscular injury can lead to the inability for the leg muscles to lift up the foot during the non weight bearing portion of the gait cycle called the ‘swing phase" of gait.

  • This orthosis can be made of metal-leather and metal-plastic or plastic and plastic-metal. The metal design includes double upright metal KAFO (most common), single upright metal KAFO (lateral upright only), and Scott-Craig metal KAFO.
