Orliman Fixed Dynamic Ankle-Foot Brace (DAFO)

Orliman Fixed Dynamic Ankle-Foot Brace (DAFO) is a dynamic orthosis crafted from flexible thermoplastic, designed to provide unmatched support and alignment for your lower limb. People love this product for its comfortable fit and impressive biomechanical control, making it a go-to choice for those seeking stability and improved mobility. This innovative brace features a low density thermoplastic (LDPE) internal part that envelops the back of the leg, ensuring a secure fit while optimising tissue containment. Its more rigid external component, made of thermoplastic (PP), extends to the proximal edge of the metatarsal heads, providing excellent support for proper foot alignment. The Velcro closure system allows for easy adjustment and a secure fit, preventing undesired movement between the foot and the brace. Lightweight and with a trimmable hem, this orthosis boasts a low profile design that easily fits into your shoe, complemented by included pads for enhanced comfort. The Orliman Fixed DAFO effectively restricts plantar flexion to prevent dragging during the swing phase, controls dorsiflexion and plantar flexion, and stabilises the foot to enhance all aspects of the gait cycle. It also realigns the foot and supports the inner longitudinal arch, promoting improved balance and gait performance. Indicated for conditions such as hyperextension of the knee, weakness in plantar or dorsiflexion, excessive plantar flexion (toe walking), muscle tone-related instability, or balance and coordination issues, this brace offers comprehensive support for a range of orthotic needs.

Effects: Limits plantar flexion, preventing the foot from dragging on the ground during the swing phase. Controls plantarflexion and dorsiflexion. It stabilizes the foot + ankle complex and improves all phases of the gait cycle, facilitating the development of fundamental movement patterns for a more natural gait. It realigns the entire foot and has support for the internal longitudinal arch. Optimizes the capacity for voluntary movements of postural balance and gait.
Indications: Hyperextension of the knee. Inability or weakness of plantar flexion and/or dorsiflexion. Excessive plantar flexion (walking on the toes). Instability as a result of low or high muscle tone. Lack of coordination or balance.
