Propulsion

BUILT TO MEET THE INDUSTRY'S MOST EXACTING STANDARDS. OURS.

We’re custom fabricators of industry-leading pre-preg braces, but we’re also clinical orthotic and prosthetic practitioners ourselves. That means that Tillges Technologies is in a unique position to provide unrivaled care. Our Propulsion line of dynamic, ultra lightweight orthotic and prosthetic devices are fit and proven on our own patients before we start building them for yours.

Propel your stride to perfection with Propulsion^® bracing from Tillges Technologies. Our Propulsion bracing line includes custom-fabricated, dynamic response, pre-preg carbon fiber AFO, partial foot AFO, and KAFO designs. These designs are crafted using dynamic carbon fiber, which stores energy to aid in ambulation. To learn more or to place an order, call us at 1-855-4TILTEC or email your scan to [email protected].

Propulsion AFO SLEEK

A custom fabricated, dynamic, pre-preg AFO that stabilizes the ankle providing medial-lateral ankle support and reduces forefoot abduction or adduction improving standing balance. Engineered individually per patients height, weight and activity level. 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 material is dynamic and it stores energy to aid in ambulation.

Propulsion AFO

A custom fabricated, dynamic, pre-preg AFO that increases stability with a modular molded inner boot, which provides increased medial-lateral ankle support and reduces forefoot abduction or adduction to improve standing balance. Engineered individually per patients height, weight and activity level. 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 prepreg material is dynamic and it stores energy to aid in ambulation.

IDEO AFO

A custom fabricated, dynamic response, carbon fiber 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.

Propulsion KAFO

A custom fabricated, dynamic response, pre-preg carbon fiber KAFO that stabilizes the knee providing medial-lateral and anterior-posterior support while eliminating knee hyperextension or knee buckling. Engineered individually per patients height, weight and activity level. Controls genu varum or valgum moments at the knee while keeping the knee joint stable. This design holds the ankle in a subtalar neutral position and eliminates plantar-flexion allowing toe clearance through the swing phase of gait, improving standing balance. Carbon fiber provides the strongest yet lightest material option available.

Propulsion Partial Foot Prosthesis

A custom fabricated, dynamic response, pre-preg carbon fiber AFO that stabilizes the ankle providing medial-lateral ankle support improving standing balance. Engineered individually per patients height, weight and activity level. The dynamic strut stores energy to allow for more efficient ambulation. This design allows for a longer toe lever for a patient having a partial foot amputation, returning their third rocker in gait. The longer toe lever also offers improved balance throughout all phases of gait. *Chopart Molded Inner Boot shown.
