PDE - Posterior Dynamic Element
A dynamic design that flexes and returns energy with each step, easing the physical and mental effort walking can take. It's often prescribed for those who are stronger or more active, helping the foot clear the ground as it swings through each step (known clinically as toe clearance in the swing phase), reducing fatigue and providing ankle support without the restriction of a rigid AFO. The PDE’s carbon fibre struts allow the design to be fine-tuned to each person's needs.
SMO - Supramalleolar orthosis
Provides joint stability without limiting natural ankle movement, and without excess bulk. Its design helps stop the ankle joint from rolling too far in or out (inversion/eversion), and the whole foot from rolling in or out as weight passes through it (pronation/supination), while still allowing the ankle to bend freely. It's considered a step up from foot orthotics or a firm in-shoe insert called a UCBL, making SMOs a good option when the foot and ankle need more correction and support than that, but not the full support of an AFO.
RAFO - Resting AFO
Holds the foot and ankle in a supportive, well-aligned position during rest, helping to maintain ankle range and manage tone. Lightweight, breathable materials are used throughout for comfort during extended wear.
ROM RAFO - Range of Motion Resting AFO
Builds on the Resting AFO with an adjustable hinge, allowing the ankle's range of motion to be gradually increased over time. This supports ongoing management of flexibility as part of a longer-term care plan.
SAFO - Standard AFO
A firm, supportive shell that gives maximum control through the foot and ankle, ideal when extra stability is needed to stand and walk with confidence. It helps the foot clear the ground while walking (toe clearance in swing phase), and helps correct and align the ankle joint for a more natural walking pattern. Its long back shell also helps stop the knee from bending too far backward (knee hyperextension) as you walk.
HAFO - Hinged AFO
Similar to a SAFO in its level of support and control, it includes a hinged ankle joint (sometimes also called "articulated joint") that allows for controlled movement, supporting a more natural walking pattern while still providing the stability required.
TRULIFE / CUSTOM - AbilityPlus Matrix Max AFO
An ultra-lightweight, high-performance carbon composite AFO built for energy return and durability — designed to keep pace with an active life.
StabilityBrace
StabilityBrace
Controls side-to-side instability at the foot and ankle while still allowing natural up-and-down movement. Designed in-house by our engineering team, it offers more support than a low-profile brace and greater breathability than a fully hinged design — a comfortable option for both children and adults managing instability.
TPU & Nylon Inserts
A soft, flexible interface layer that fits inside your AFO or SMO, adding cushioning and comfort exactly where it's needed, and supporting the sensory feedback that helps with balance and posture control.
