Carbon Fiber AFO for Dorsiflexion Weakness and Enhanced Knee Stability
Individuals with dorsiflexion weakness can rediscover mobility with the WalkOn Reaction Ankle Foot Orthosis by Ottobock. This orthosis is a variation of the original with several enhancements for added support. A longer anterior strut and an external calf cuff harness ground reaction forces to aid users with mild knee extension deficits, promoting greater lower-limb alignment and control.
The WalkOn Reaction AFO is engineered to create a natural gait pattern with heel-to-toe movement. The integrated carbon fiber spring enables controlled plantar flexion at heel strike to prevent foot slap, while absorbing and returning energy to reduce fatigue. This helps promote smoother, more efficient walking for users with neurological gait impairments.
With two secure hook-and-loop straps, this lightweight, low-profile AFO is easy to don and doff. It fits inside most lace-up shoes with reinforced heel counters, and should be worn with cotton socks to reduce friction and enhance comfort.
Vitality Medical offers to meet a range of support needs. Try the WalkOn Reaction AFO today and experience the benefits of advanced support and motion control.
