FlexorBand AFO
The
FlexorBand AFO is our first AFO with a joint. This lightweight,
dorsiflexion assist AFO is designed for foot drop patients who need
a wide range of motion at the ankle (-30 degrees dorsiflexion, unlimited
plantarflexion).
The
joint, located over the lateral malleolus, consists of integrated
hemispherical stainless steel washers separated by a nylon washer.
Tension is provided by a Gaffney-Flexor band anterior to the joint.
