WalkOn Reaction Junior

Incredibly dynamic.

The WalkOn Reaction Junior is intended especially for children with mild neurological deficits of the lower limbs. It offers these children a higher level of overall support than conventional orthoses in this field. The risk of stumbling and falling is reduced and movement patterns are improved.

The dynamic ankle-foot orthosis improves your child’s dorsiflexion and uses ground reaction forces to stabilise both the knee and the ankle joints. Applied to the front of the lower leg, the orthosis helps your child achieve a more stable, largely physiological gait.

Benefits at a glance

Walk more naturally

The WalkOn Reaction Junior enables a nearly physiological gait. The special orthosis design supports extension and flexion of the knee during walking. Your child’s gait pattern becomes smoother. This also applies to children with higher activity levels, who require greater support for knee extension.

Fewer compensating movements

Compensating movements often result in signs of wear. The WalkOn Reaction Junior can reduce these with its high energy return. The energy stored during heel strike is released by the orthosis during the rollover movement of the foot. This helps your child walk more symmetrically. The special alignment of the orthosis provides a more natural posture during standing as well.

Enhanced safety

Your child’s safety is increased as the WalkOn Reaction Junior supports and lifts the foot during the swing phase while walking. The risk of catching the tip of the foot, for example on carpet edges or uneven ground, is reduced.

Appropriate for shoes

The orthosis can be worn in standard shoes, and a sturdy shoe is perfectly adequate. You only need to make sure that the shoe has a reinforced heel. To put on the orthosis, you should ideally start by positioning the WalkOn Reaction Junior in the shoe. The child can then simply step in with the foot.

Leo is particularly excited about the new WalkOn Reaction junior. The progressive ankle-foot orthosis was developed especially for children with mild neurological disorders affecting the legs. It offers a higher level of support than conventional orthoses and also improves Leo’s dorsiflexion and gait. “Without the orthosis, his gait pattern is noticeably worse. It doesn’t look smooth, and he is prone to tripping up much more frequently,” his mother Kristin says. “I think the big advantage of the WalkOn Reaction junior is that children can wear completely normal shoes, rather than having to get orthotic shoes.”

The Malleo Neurexa pro is an orthosis with a foot lifting effect that can also counteract the effects of a developing spasticity thanks to its special alignment.The orthosis can be worn during the day, at night and even without footwear.

GoOn

The GoOn acts as an entry-level option for users with minor limitations of the dorsiflexion musculature, helping them to become familiar with wearing a device and the benefits it offers. The AFO helps hold the user to hold their foot in a neutral position. It makes walking safer and prevents tripping.What's more, the GoOn can also be worn without shoes. Thanks to the spring on the arch of the foot, the sole of the shoe remains untouched. This allows the user to wear practically any lace-up shoe, and even wear shoes with different heel heights. The spring filaments mean that the lifting force can be adjusted as required: the foot is gently guided and held in a torsionally stable manner.
