Impact

Due to the support of the longitudinal arch of the foot and support on the calf muscle area, the heel bone is unloaded.

The patient has the opportunity to walk in an orthosis at the earliest stages of rehabilitation.

The orthosis provides almost physiological rolling of the injured foot.

Early activation of the patient accelerates bone tissue recovery and minimizes the risk of “inactivity atrophy”.

The work of the "muscle pump" during the contraction of the muscles of the lower limb contributes to the prevention of venous thrombosis.

The treatment period is halved: full rehabilitation takes an average of 12 weeks.

Specifications:

• No shoe height compensation is required on the opposite side.

• The load on the heel bone increases gradually and in a dosed manner due to the use of special heel liners.

• The orthosis is supplied as a set of parts (a “boot” frame made of thermoformed plastic, fastening elements, inserts, a leather top, etc.), it requires assembly and adjustment in an orthopedic workshop. Appointment and fitting of the orthosis are carried out in the direction of the attending physician.
