WalkOn Trimable
People with permanent drop foot depend on a device that lifts their foot while walking.
This is precisely what the WalkOn Trimable does. It helps to elevate the foot during the swing phase, making the gait safer again while reducing the risk of stumbling and falling. The tip of the foot no longer gets caught as easily on small obstacles or uneven ground.
The ankle-foot orthosis is made of a modern carbon fibre prepreg material which is very lightweight. A carbon spring at the back extends from the Achilles tendon to the calf. For users with residual musculature, the WalkOn Trimable provides support while walking. The orthosis releases previously stored energy at toe-off so the gait becomes smoother. The ankle joint is stabilised at the same time.
Lower leg shell
The calf pad is located on the lower leg shell of the WalkOn Trimable. It can be easily applied to the leg with a hook-and-loop closure.
Dorsal spring
The dorsal spring connects the lower leg shell with the foot component. The WalkOn Trimable is made of a lightweight carbon fibre prepreg material and features moderate energy return.
Midfoot
The area of the midfoot is especially stable and provides support in the stance phase.
Foot component
The characteristics of the carbon sole are tailored to the needs of the different areas of application of the orthosis types.

WalkOn Trimable – inconspicuous support
The WalkOn Trimable enhances your safety by supporting and lifting your foot during the swing phase while walking. This reduces the risk of catching the tip of your foot on carpet edges or uneven ground, for example.
The special material stores energy when you step down with the heel and releases it again during the rollover movement of the foot. This makes walking more natural for you – regardless of whether you walk slow or fast, or how much weight you put on the foot.
You move entirely naturally with the WalkOn Trimable during the day. When you crouch down or climb stairs, for example, you can put a natural load on the forefoot. The WalkOn Trimable is perfectly suited for many everyday situations.
The WalkOn Trimable is lightweight, slim and discreet under clothing. A removable calf pad makes it even more comfortable for you.
The orthosis fits in any shoe that provides support. You only need to make sure that the shoe has a reinforced heel. To put on the orthosis, position the WalkOn Trimable in the shoe and then slide your foot in.
The WalkOn Trimable is especially robust. It has proven its durability in tests and long-term functional testing.

Answers for you
How do I put on the WalkOn Trimable?
We recommend that you place the orthosis into the shoe first and then insert your foot. Then you can simply fasten the hook-and-loop closures.
Do I need special footwear for the WalkOn Trimable?
No, but you should select a sturdy shoe with a reinforced heel. It is important that the orthosis fits firmly so that it moves as little as possible. We also recommend a heel height of 10 mm; alternatively this can be determined by your technician. An additional pair of shoes should of course have the same heel height.
Is it possible to play sports with the WalkOn Trimable?
Yes, in fact it is recommended that you are active. Speak to your orthotist to get their advice on which sports are the most beneficial and how to make the best use of your orthosis. You should however avoid extreme and abrupt movements.
How do I care for the WalkOn Trimable?
The orthosis should be wiped regularly using water and a mild cleaning agent. We recommend washing the pad at least twice a week (machine washable at 40 °C).
Can I get replacement pads for the WalkOn Trimable?
Replacement pads can of course be ordered through your orthotist. He or she adapts the pads for you personally to ensure they fit.
Can I drive a car with the WalkOn Trimable?
We can’t make any general statements regarding this. You must be able to safely control any vehicle for which you require a driving licence and insurance or which is used in traffic. Your ability to drive with a WalkOn Trimable should be determined on an individual basis. You are required to observe national and state laws.

WalkOn Flex
People with permanent drop foot depend on a device that lifts their foot while walking.
This is precisely what the WalkOn Flex does. It helps to elevate the foot during the swing phase, making the gait safer again while reducing the risk of stumbling and falling. The tip of the foot no longer gets caught as easily on small obstacles or uneven ground.
Thanks to the material (glass and carbon fibre composite) and special design, the WalkOn Flex is particularly suitable if you are looking for more flexibility in the ankle joint and knee. If you have sufficient residual musculature – your orthotist will provide you with detailed advice regarding this – the WalkOn Flex will give you good support, especially on uneven surfaces.
Available in sizes for children and adults.
WalkOn Reaction plus
People with permanent dorsiflexor weakness depend on a medical aid that lifts their foot while walking.
This is precisely what the WalkOn Reaction plus does. It helps lift the foot during the swing phase, so that the gait becomes safer while the risk of stumbling and falling is reduced. The tip of the foot no longer gets caught as easily on small obstacles or uneven ground.
Like the WalkOn Reaction, the WalkOn Reaction plus also supports the knee joint thanks to its special design, but offers an even higher degree of stiffness. When the foot lowering musculature is impaired as well, you benefit from the high energy return of the orthosis, which is activated during the rollover motion of the foot. You walk more naturally again.

Ankle-foot orthosis
The 28U90 lower leg orthosis from Ottobock is used for drop foot (peroneal weakness). It lifts the forefoot during walking and simultaneously limits foot flexion in the upper ankle joint, in the direction of the sole. The thin-walled polypropylene construction not only provides effective support, but is also comfortably lightweight. In addition, the long sole ensures exact guidance of the foot along with good pressure distribution. The included calf pads and closure straps improve wearer comfort and permit flexible adjustment.
Malleo Neurexa pro
Following a stroke, for example, many individuals are often affected by drop foot and the foot assumes what is called a supination position. The toes can no longer be properly lifted in this case, so there is a risk of stumbling. 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.
