The brace was designed to allow for a natural gait and makes safe and efficient walking possible again, one of a range of excellent ankle braces in the Push Braces range. The Push AFO lifts the foot during the swing phase, controls the plantar flexion post heel strike and then allows unimpeded rolling of the foot. Also, the orthosis offers lateral stability to the ankle joint. The brace provides adjustable elastic straps which allows the degree of dynamic foot lift during the swing phase to be determined based on the individual needs of the user. On heel strike, the limiting function of the elastic straps ensures a well-controlled plantar flexion. During the stance phase, the brace allows flexion and extension in the ankle joint and allows the (remaining) function of the calf muscles to be focused on during the rolling of the foot. The outcome is an efficient and natural gait. Where normally the shoe allows for fixation of the orthosis around the foot, the Push Braces Ortho AFO Ankle Foot Orthosis has its own fixing strap system. The unique design allows the brace to be worn with light footwear such as indoors in slippers.
