Detailed description
SpryStep® Max is designed to help individuals with foot drop syndrome, a condition that makes it difficult to lift the front part of the foot.
This dynamic ankle-foot orthosis (AFO) is tailored for patients experiencing excessive dorsiflexion, knee instability, or quadricep weakness.
This orthosis is engineered to provide stabilization and support during the stance phase of gait, addressing various biomechanical challenges.
Key benefits of the SpryStep® Max include:
- Strategic Stabilization: The midfoot lateral strut is strategically positioned to optimize gait assistance and stabilization.
- Enhanced Comfort: The anterior shell features a 3D shaped pad with a recessed tibia crest relief zone, ensuring comfort.
- Durable Construction: Made from lightweight, durable composite materials with unique laminated characteristics to prevent delamination and breakage.
- Customizable Fit: The trimmable forefoot section ensures an anatomical adjustment allow to fit for various foot sizes and shapes.
- Patient Compliance: The orthosis's elegant design has been developed to provide both comfort and functionality, with the aim of enhancing patient compliance.
- Versatile Use: Suitable for a wide range of patients, from those with mild to pronounced gait abnormalities.
The SpryStep® Max is available in sizes XS to XL, fitting a broad spectrum of foot sizes. It is offered in both right and left versions to meet individual patient needs. Classified as a Class I medical device, it complies with all relevant regulatory standards.
