The Ossur AFO Light is an ankle foot orthosis, made
from Flex-FootŪ 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.
