2.4 Further Usage Restrictions

The orthosis must not be used for the prevention of contractures (shortening) etc.
The orthosis must not be used for sports activities that involve jumping, sudden movements or
rapid step sequences (e.g. basketball, badminton, riding sports). Sports activities should gener­
ally be discussed with the patient.
2.5 Effects
The orthosis enables a more natural gait pattern for the user. In the swing phase, the foot remains
in the neutral position which permits a natural swing-through for the patient without executing
compensating movements for ground clearance.
At heel strike, the carbon spring allows the foot to plantarflex in a controlled and harmonious man­
ner preventing foot slap. The force exhibited is used to support the mid-stance phase.
Prior to toe-off, stored energy is released to preserve momentum into swing phase.
