Foot of the Week – Episode 9 – AFO Solutions

http://www.insightful-products.com

In this weeks vblog, we demonstrate the AFO strategy used by Insightful to attach the AFO or ankle brace to the shoe using velcro.  The foot and ankle brace is attached to the shoe using hook and loop pile.  By attaching the ankle brace to the shoe, the unit becomes one.  All of Insightful’s bracing is designed to work with a shoe and not without a shoe.  Fastening the brace to the shoe makes it easier to don the brace or to put the brace on but also keeps the brace placed back in the heel of the shoe.  This keeps the brace from creeping forward in the shoe and using up space in the shoe.

In this Week’s vblog, we focus on a spastic foot and ankle and how an articulated ankle foot orthosis (AFO) will not control plantarflexion. Insightful will manufacture a 3 point pressure system AFO that will help control the deformity.

Foot of the Week – Episode 7 – AFO Solutions

In this Week’s video blog, we discuss the use of reliefs or windows in Insightful’s ankle bracing techniques. In the case of posterior tibial tendon dysfunction (PTTD), the medial column of the ankle can be collapsed which results in prominent areas of the foot and ankle. While we attempt to make correction to the PTTD, these areas of the foot and ankle need relief. Without relief, the post tib patient will feel pain. In order to provide correction and relief at the same time, we apply pressure to the more tolerant areas of the foot and ankle while avoiding the prominent painful areas.
