AFO Dynamic - Ossur

Model: AFO Dynamic

• The Ossur AFO Dynamic is made of lightweight pre-impregnated carbon fiber, providing dynamic motion and high durability.
• The AFO Dynamic reduces hip hiking associated with limited toe clearance.
  
• Medial strut and dark color makes it less visible.

AFO Dynamic

The Ossur AFO Dynamic is a truly unique ankle foot orthoses that combines Flex-Foot energy-return technology, and light-weight carbon fiber for real locomotion assistance and a confident, more natural walking motion. Ossur has incorporated a medial strut to absorb each individual's body weight and return the captured energy for an easier more dynamic walking pattern.  This results in a more efficient walking motion and reduction of hip hiking associated limited toe clearance. The AFO Dynamic is a low profile model and is more comfortable to wear on an everyday basis than more limited, traditional versions made of plastic materials.  The foot platform is designed to fit inside both men's and women's shoes and works for 95% of individuals within each of the three size categories listed below.  The calf portion has a hook and loop strap attachment for easy fitting adjustments.  The AFO Dynamic is designed to provide superb energy return/dorsiflexion assist in an off-the-shelf design.



AFO Dynamic Features:

• This AFO Dynamic is made of pre-impregnated carbon fiber which provides dynamic motion and energy return (assisted propulsion of the limb at toe off).
• It is highly durable.
• Has excellent weight to strength ratio for enhanced durability.
• A Lightweight orthosis - fits easily inside a shoe.
• Unique footplate design has a stiffness gradient at the heel and toe. The response becomes stiffer when extra support is needed with a heavy individual, and less stiff when used by a smaller, less heavy person.
• Gait assistance - Receives gradual plantar flexion at initial contact when taking a step, and provides medial-lateral stability at mid-stance as the person porgresses their body weight over the foot.
• Supports the foot for ground-clearance during swing phase.
• Medial strut and dark color makes it less visible.
• Textile cover on outside of the Ossur AFO Dynamic and inside aspect of the footplate provides a pleasant cosmetic appearance and enhances comfort against the skin.

• CVA (Cerebral Vascular Accident or Stroke)
• MS (Multiple Sclerosis)
• Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease
• Peroneal Muscular Atrophy (PMA)
• Hereditary Motor Sensory Neuropathy (HMSN)
• Other neurological conditions
• The Ossur AFO Dynamic is not intended to be used for severe ankle/foot deformities, severe spasticity and/or fluctuation edema.
