arthrosan® foot lifter orthosis support

The arthrosan foot lifter orthosis support was developed for dynamic, stabilizing, and everyday support in cases of foot drop. It combines a lightweight high-performance fiber composite construction with adjustable elastic straps, an adaptable foot shell, and stable foot guidance.

Key benefits:

• Dynamic support for foot lift during walking
  
• Individually adjustable elastic straps to customize the foot lift effect
  
• High wearing comfort with stabilizing guidance
  
• Low-profile, discreet joint to support controlled gait
  
• Easy handling thanks to self-guiding Fidlock magnetic fasteners
  
• Hygienic, easy-care, and discreet design

The arthrosan foot lifter orthosis support may be suitable for people who require more guiding and stabilizing support for foot drop. It is designed for situations where the foot lift needs to be functionally supported and the foot guided more securely during movement.

Typical areas of application may include:

• general foot drop
  
• drop foot or limited forefoot lift
  
• traumatic peroneal nerve lesion
  
• Multiple Sclerosis
  
• Polyneuropathy
  
• Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
  
• Nerve root syndrome
  
• Apoplexy or post-stroke care
  
• Hemiplegia or Monoplegia
  
• short- or long-term care for equinus foot
  
• positioning for prevention of joint contractures
  

Which type of support is suitable always depends on the findings, gait pattern, support requirements, activity level, footwear situation, and professional fitting.

The arthrosan foot lifter orthosis support is designed to dynamically support the foot lifting function while walking and at the same time guide the foot in a stabilizing manner. Two individually adjustable elastic straps support the raising of the forefoot and can be adapted to the respective care situation.

The low-positioned, inconspicuous joint is designed to promote a stable and biomechanically controlled gait. The foot lifting function can be supported in the upper and lower ankle joint. The foot shell in Varioform allows for easy adaptation to the individual foot and shoe situation.

The self-guiding Fidlock magnetic closures make it easier to put on and take off. This can enable one-handed operation, for example after a stroke. The high-performance fiber composite material combines stability with high wearing comfort and an inconspicuous design.

The specific effect depends on the individual adjustment, the gait pattern, the severity of the foot drop, and the appropriate shoe-orthosis combination.
