'semi rigid section'

 AFO Leaf Spring is a pre-fabricated polypropylene ankle-foot orthosis designed to support flaccid drop foot. It provides a semi- rigid section for toe clearance and support, yet has a thin, flexible foot plate for easy trimming.  It is useful very mild foot drop case where minimal support is required.  It only work when patient is not heavy and light in weight

Benefits ✔ Immobilizes and Protects the Foot – Prevents worsening of Charcot deformity ✔ Reduces Foot Pressure & Redistributes Weight – Prevents ulcers and calluses ✔ Provides Stability & Balance Support – Helps maintain safe mobility ✔ Customizable & Comfortable Fit – Designed for individual foot anatomy ✔ Lightweight Yet Rigid Construction – Ensures durability for long-term use

Charcot foot, which is a condition that affects the bones in the foot and ankle and often leads to joint deformities and instability, specialized insoles can be crucial in providing support and preventing further damage. Here are a few types of insoles that might be used: Custom Orthotics: These are specially designed to match the unique contours of your feet. They help distribute pressure evenly, stabilize the foot, and prevent further deformities. A podiatrist or orthotist can create these based on a detailed assessment of your foot structure and needs. Offloading Insoles: These are designed to reduce pressure on specific areas of the foot. For Charcot foot, offloading insoles can help redistribute pressure away from the affected areas to help prevent ulcers and further complications. Rocker Sole Insoles: Rocker soles have a rounded heel-to-toe transition which can help reduce stress on the foot while walking. This can be particularly helpful for individuals with Charcot foot to improve gait and reduce discomfort. Cushioned Insoles: Providing additional cushioning can help absorb shock and reduce the impact on the foot. This can be beneficial if you experience pain or discomfort due to Charcot foot. Rigid Insoles: Sometimes, a more rigid insole is needed to offer strong support and prevent excessive movement of the foot, which can be helpful in managing the condition and preventing further deformity.

AFO with Tamarac Ankle joint  The Tamarack Flexure Joint is recognized and used worldwide in the orthotic & prosthetic industry due to its high strength tension load bearing element, which provides smooth articulation and unmatched durability. Tamarack Flexure Joints are lightweight, cost effective, and easy to install in custom and semi-custom thermoplastic and laminated orthopedic bracing applications.

KNOW YOUR ACTIVITY LEVEL : Level One(K1) The patient has the ability or potential to use a prosthesis for transfers or ambulation on level surfaces at fixed cadence. This is typical of a household ambulator or a person who only walks about in their own home. Level Two(K2) The patient has the ability or potential for ambulation with the ability to traverse lowlevel environmental barriers such as curbs, stairs or uneven surfaces. This is typical of the limited community ambulator. Level Three(K3) The patient has the ability or potential for ambulation with variable cadence. A person at level 3 is typically a community ambulator who also has the ability to traverse most environmental barriers and may have vocational, therapeutic or exercise activity that demands prosthetic use beyond simple locomotion. Level Four(K4) The patient has the ability or potential for prosthetic ambulation that exceeds basic ambulation skills, exhibiting high impact, stress or energy levels. This is typical of the prosthetic demands of the child, active adult or athlete.
