If you suffer from dorsiflexion weakness or foot drop, it can be difficult to walk naturally. This in turn can lead to discomfort and additional foot and lower leg problems.
There are many walking aids available on the market, however these are often clunky and uncomfortable to wear, or too flimsy to provide sufficient support.
The Ottobock WalkOn Reaction Plus Ankle and Foot Orthosis is a great walking aid designed to help users with dorsiflexion weakness walk more naturally. The walking aid is lightweight and low profile, without compromising on toughness and functionality. Simply place the orthosis inside your shoe like an insole and you're ready to go.
Discomfort-Free Walking
Like other Ottobock WalkOn aids, the Reaction Plus Orthosis is fabricated from a prepreg advanced carbon composite, for ultimate strength and durability.
The WalkOn Reaction Plus features an anterior-placed calf cuff and longer strut, which works in conjunction with ground reaction forces to help extend the wearer's knee.This makes the WalkOn Reaction Plus a great solution for active patients who have a slight knee extension impairment, as well as for those suffering from foot drop.
