The Ossur AFO Light is an ankle foot orthosis, made from Flex-Foot® carbon
fiber. It is dynamic and offers energy return.
The Ossur
AFO Light is for for AFO users with mild to moderate drop foot
secondary to a variety of neurological conditions.
The product comprises a footplate, posterior
strut, and a calf piece. A simple velcro strapping system facilitates
donning and doffing. The product is provided with silicone padding
and a thermo-formable tube covering the heel part of the posterior
spring. This combination results in easier donning of the AFO
and prevents damage of the padding in this vulnerable area.
An elastic band connects the separate
calf-piece to the posterior spring. This connection allows semi-controlled
upward and downward motion in synchronization with ankle plantar
flexion and dorsal flexion. Excessive rubbing and migration
of the calf-piece from the calf is, therefore, reduced.
This product is available in black color
only.
