28U11 - Ankle-Foot orthotics

WalkOn

Safer walking

The ankle-foot orthosis is made of a modern carbon fibre prepreg material which is very lightweight. A carbon spring at the back extends from the Achilles tendon to the calf. The WalkOn provides support during walking for users with residual musculature. The orthosis releases previously stored energy at toe-off so the gait becomes smoother. The ankle joint is stabilised at the same time.

WalkOn – stabilising and lightweight

Jürgen sitting by the fireplace
Lightweight and discreet

The WalkOn is lightweight, slim and discreet under clothing. A removable calf pad makes it even more comfortable for you.

Jürgen wears the orthosis in standard shoes
Use regular footwear

The orthosis fits in any shoe that provides support. You should merely ensure that the shoe has a reinforced heel. To put on the orthosis, you should position the WalkOn in the shoe and then slide in your foot.

Enhanced safety

You gain safety because the WalkOn supports and lifts your foot during the swing phase while walking. The risk of getting caught with the tip of the foot, for example on carpet edges or uneven ground, is reduced.

Walk more naturally

The special material stores energy when you step down with the heel and releases it again during the rollover movement of the foot. This makes walking more natural for you – regardless of whether you walk slow or fast, or how much weight you put on the foot.

Robust and durable

The WalkOn is especially robust. It has proven its durability in tests and long-term function testing.

Moving naturally

You can move naturally with the WalkOn. When you crouch down or climb stairs, for example, you can put a natural load on the forefoot. The WalkOn is perfectly suited for many everyday situations.

Jürgen’s user story

Although he has drop foot, Jürgen is always up and about, both during his everyday work and afterwards. His dog needs the exercise and Jürgen enjoys this time outside as a change of pace from his job. With the WalkOn dorsiflexion assist orthosis, Jürgen can cover longer distances and even walk over rough terrain.
