Heel relief orthosis
With the heel relief orthosis, you regain your mobility quickly and can return to your accustomed everyday life – with no need for crutches.
Your heel floats in the orthosis thanks to its unique design. Special sole and pressure build-up pads gradually increase the load on the heel bone. This promotes and considerably speeds up the healing process. The heel relief orthosis makes a largely physiological gait pattern possible.
Sporty shoe design
The sporty shoe design of the heel relief orthosis makes it inconspicuous to wear.
Free-floating heel
The orthotics and prosthetics professional (O&P professional) positions the inner element in the middle of the foot. As a result, the heel floats free in the orthosis, providing relief for the injured heel bone.
Gradual load increase on the heel
Three pressure build-up pads and one sole pad gradually increase the load on the heel. This allows it to be adapted to your treatment course and promotes healing.
More comfortable heel strike
The step rubber of the heel relief orthosis provides comfortable damping for heel strike.
Flexible rollover sole for a nearly natural gait pattern
The flexible sole at the front of the foot permits a nearly natural rollover for patients, preventing malpositions and secondary damage.
