SpryStep® Flex

POSTERIOR DYNAMIC ANKLE-FOOT ORTHOSIS

• Properties:
• Adjustable and trimmable orthosis (by cutting) in length by the healthcare professional authorized to dispense, prepare and adapt the SpryStep® flex
• The diversity of materials used offers a good combination of flexibility and rigidity to improve walking and comfort for the patient, with a forefoot that remains flexible while walking
• The orthosis allows an energy storage through the strut deformation which by restitution, contributes to the help of the leg during gait stance phase
• The lateral/posterior position of the strut ensures optimum compliance and energy return during physical activity.

Indications:

Foot drop of:

• neurological origin from central nervous system (motor impairment due to stroke, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, spinal cord injury, cerebral palsy, etc.)
• peripheral nervous system (neuropathy, nerve injuries, nerve damage, radiculopathy) or muscular origin (muscular dystrophy, congenital myopathy, etc.) without knee impairment.

SpryStep® flex is adapted for dynamic patients with high impact activities (walking, running...).
