WalkOn

Orteza pentru gambă este confecționată dintr-un material modern de fibră de carbon Prepreg, care este foarte ușor. Pe partea din spate, de la tendonul lui Ahile până la pulpă este pozat un arc de carbon. Utilizatorii care mai dispun de un rest de musculatură sunt sprijiniți în mișcarea de mers cu orteza WalkOn. La propulsarea spre înainte cu ajutorul degetelor picioarelor, orteza eliberează energia acumulată anterior, astfel încât mersul devine mai fluent. Pe lângă aceasta, se produce totodată și o stabilizare a articulației gleznei.

This is precisely what the WalkOn does. It helps to lift 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.

People with permanent dorsiflexor weakness depend on a medical aid that lifts their foot while walking.

The ankle foot orthosis is made of a modern carbon fibre prepreg material which is very lightweight. There is a carbon fibre spring at the back that extends from the Achilles tendon to the calf. For users with residual musculature, the WalkOn provides support while walking. At toe-off the orthosis releases previously stored energy so that walking becomes smoother. The ankle joint is stabilised at the same time.

People with permanent drop foot depend on a device that lifts their foot while walking.
