652SKG - AFO APU (Adj.Post.Upright) Adult Kodel G-Metal
This PRAFO version has an Adjustable Posterior Upright design that allows you to simply and precisely set optimal dorsiflexion to 20º, or plantarflexion to 40º. Like all of our posterior upright AFO designs, you will eliminate any pressure to the heel and the medial/lateral aspects of the malleoli. The device is suitable for left and right and adjusts to various foot and lower-limb sizes.
This totally adjustable, custom-fitted Ankle Foot Orthosis that can help manage many of the ankle/foot anomalies your patients present to you. With recumbent patients it is used to prevent pressure sores at the heel or malleoli areas due to pressure from a mattress. As the PRAFO uses a metal upright structure it resists the development of plantarflexion contractures when muscle tone might be high - for example in early stroke rehabilitation. Preventing contractures and heel ulcers can make a big difference to the potential for rehabilitation.
