Description
The TurboMed AFO Xtern Orthotic Kit is a groundbreaking solution tailored for individuals with foot drop. Distinctly external and boasting an innovative design, this device grants unprecedented freedom and comfort, making it suitable for all physical activities.
Key Features
- External Application: Unlike traditional AFOs (ankle-foot orthotics) that are worn inside the shoe, the Xtern attaches externally, ensuring no shoe size change or fitting problems.
- Adaptable Design: Can be fitted to most lace-up shoes and boots without modifications, including winter and hiking boots.
- Highly Durable: Made of high-quality thermoplastic elastomer, it’s designed for rugged, long-term use.
- Natural Movement: Allows for an unrestricted range of motion and doesn’t inhibit plantar or dorsiflexion.
- Lightweight Construction: Enhances user comfort during extended wear.
- Water and Heat Resistant: This makes it perfect for a variety of environments and activities.
Benefits
- Improved Mobility: Supports a more natural gait, ensuring users can walk faster and longer without fatigue.
- Versatility: Whether you’re running, walking, or even hiking on rugged terrains, the Xtern has got you covered.
- Comfort: Its external placement and lightweight design offer unparalleled comfort, reducing skin irritation or sweating associated with traditional AFOs.
- Easy Maintenance: Simple to clean with standard cleaning solutions, ensuring hygiene.
- Boosted Confidence: Empowers users to engage in physical activities without worrying about their foot drop.
Specifications
I ordered the XTern AFO kit, but instead received the XTern Trial Brace, which does not include the Lace clip connector. The connection where the screw is inserted is a problem hitting/rubbing against the inside ankle bone as it is too high. The XTern AFO is lower therefore rubbing was not an issue. Could you please advise ?
