arthrosan® Foot Drop Orthosis original

The arthrosan original foot drop orthosis was developed for light, dynamic, and everyday support for foot drop. It combines a thermoplastically formable support sole with a semi-elastic figure-8 strapping, an ankle cuff, and a one-handed clasp.

Key advantages:

• lightweight and visually discreet foot drop orthosis for everyday use
  
• semi-elastic figure-8 strapping to support foot lift
  
• continuously adjustable tension strap for pronation and supination
  
• thermoplastically formable support sole for individual adjustment
  
• easy handling due to self-closing cuff and one-handed clasp
  
• comfortable padding in the ankle area, without pressure on the Achilles tendon area
  

The arthrosan original is designed for professional fitting by orthopedic technicians. Orthopedic shoes are generally not required.

The arthrosan Foot Drop Orthosis Original may be suitable for people who need light, flexible, and dynamic support when walking with foot drop. It is designed for situations where foot lift needs to be functionally supported without unnecessarily hindering existing muscle activity.

Typical areas of application may include:

• flaccid peripheral paralysis
  
• general foot drop
  
• drop foot or limited forefoot lift
  
• post-stroke care
  
• hemiparesis
  
• mild to moderate spastic foot paralysis, for example in the context of multiple sclerosis
  
• functional support in the upper and lower ankle joint
  

Which orthosis is suitable always depends on the diagnosis, gait pattern, support needs, footwear situation, and professional fitting. The selection should therefore be made through a medical supply store or orthopaedic technical personnel.

The arthrosan foot lifter orthosis original is designed to dynamically support foot lift during walking. The semi-elastic figure-of-eight strap can support forefoot elevation and help guide the foot more controllably during movement.

The adjustable tension strap allows the effect on pronation and supination to be individually regulated. This can help the orthosis support a more physiological gait and a more natural rolling motion. The natural rolling axis is maintained, and existing muscle activity is not blocked.

The thermoplastically deformable support sole forms the basis for individual adaptation. The self-closing cuff with one-hand clasp makes it easier to put on in everyday life. The closure strap with stop function supports safe handling.

Through the functional support of foot lift, the arthrosan original can help improve gait and reduce the tendency to stumble in everyday life. However, the specific effect always depends on individual adaptation, gait pattern, and the respective care situation.
