PDE
PDE ORTHO AFO
A custom fabricated, dynamic response, carbon fiber PDE AFO that stabilizes the ankle support while reducing forefoot abduction or adduction. Provides stabilization to the ankle, subtalar and mid-tarsal joints. This design limits plantar-flexion allowing toe clearance through the swing phase of gait. The carbon fiber posterior strut is dynamic as it stores energy to aid in ambulation. The strut comes in nine different durometers which can be interchanged in the tuning process and it can also be aligned using different wedges to offer more plantar- or dorsi-flexion. This adaption provides injury-specific deflection, energy storage and power, all while maintaining control and minimizing pain.
PDE Neuro Brace
A custom fabricated, lightweight PA12 PDE Neuro Brace that enhances propulsion while providing stabilization at the ankle and foot. The dynamic posterior strut stores and releases energy to assist in ambulation, while the soft, flexible molded inner boot ensures comfort. Varus and valgus control is built in for proper alignment at the ankle and foot. The brace includes six interchangeable struts with varying stiffness, allowing it to be tuned for individual needs, and can be aligned with ±5 degrees of plantarflexion/dorsiflexion or ±5 degrees of toe in/out adjustment. The full foot plate design offers stability and control, delivering energy return, power, and improved walking efficiency, all while maintaining comfort and reducing fatigue.
