PDE - Posterior Dynamic Element
Gain access to carbon-fibre equivalent durability in a light weight form factor. This is easier to heat adjust than wet or prepreg laminate. Less health risks when grinding Nylon than carbon-fibre and you can choose between a flexible or rigid toe plate.
SMO - Supramalleolar orthosis
Allows stiffness at the hindfoot whilst rapidly changing to thinner areas in the dorsal wraps and toe plate. Achieves symmetry in stiffness and flexibility that is almost impossible in traditional manufacturing methods.
RAFO - Resting AFO
Achieve a Resting AFO that ensures compliance! This AFO achieves muscle stretching through controlling the alignment of the mid/hindfoot and remains cool as a breeze.
ROM RAFO - Range of Motion Resting AFO
Why not add a hinge and strap to the Resting AFO so the client can increase their dorsiflexion range over time? The research shows that dynamic stretch provides greater results than static stretch. When paired with dorsi-assist joints you can get rid of static stretching straps altogether!
SAFO - Standard AFO
Have an integrated heel that easily fits in shoes, as well as a heel that you never have to worry about falling off!
Add flexible dorsal wraps, shank wraps and toe plates right next to areas where stiffness and stability is needed. All of this in a low profile package that is light weight and easy to wear.
Nothing standard about our standard AFO! Move away from bulky oversized shoes and forget the days of re-gluing EVA heel wedges.
HAFO - Hinged AFO
3D printed hinged AFOs have the advantage of perfect joint alignment for pivot joints or whichever joint you need whilst allowing for flexible toe plates and an integrated heel.
CUSTOM - AbilityPlus Matrix Max AFO
Want to use off the shelf components such as the Trulife Matrix Raw? Reach out about your custom needs!
StabilityBrace is a fully custom device that blocks large amount of medial-lateral instability at the foot and ankle without restricting plantarflexion and dorsiflexion.
Like a SMAFO that provides extra support around the calf region, it contains excessive varus/valgus at the talus calcaneus joint.
It's less cumbersome than a HAFO, allows air flow and has greater functionality. And it's more supportive and comfortable than a SMAFO or orthopedic footwear.
Use it for multiple diagnoses, like spasticity or low tone, for both pediatrics and adults.
StabilityBrace
Add TPU or Nylon inserts to various devices, from both the AbilityMade range as well as other manufacturing techniques such as lamination.
Gain the sense of flexibility and containment of soft tissue and firmness where needed, and say goodbye to the concept of hard and non-yielding AFO shells.
Do away with the need to heat adjust carbon fiber laminate. These inserts are easy to adjust for fit through heating and grinding.
Nylon Inserts can also mean more efficient use of funding and time. Have a client that's grown? Replace only the Nylon Insert and not the entire carbon shell and joint.
