WalkOn Lateral
People with permanent drop foot depend on a device that elevates their foot while walking.
People with permanent drop foot depend on a device that elevates their foot while walking.
This is precisely what the WalkOn lateral does. It helps to elevate the foot during the swing phase, making the gait safer again while reducing the risk of stumbling and falling. The tip of the foot no longer gets caught as easily on small obstacles or uneven ground.
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 lateral 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 lateral – lightweight support
The orthosis fits in any shoe that provides support. You only need to make sure that the shoe has a reinforced heel. To put on the orthosis, position the WalkOn lateral in the shoe and then slide your foot in.
The WalkOn lateral is lightweight, slim and discreet under clothing. A removable calf pad makes it even more comfortable for you.
The WalkOn lateral enhances your safety by supporting and elevating your foot during the swing phase while walking. This reduces the risk of catching the tip of your foot on carpet edges or uneven ground, for example.
The special material of the WalkOn lateral stores energy when you step down with the heel and releases it again during the foot’s rollover movement. This makes your gait more natural, whether you are walking slow or fast and no matter how much weight you are putting on the foot.
The WalkOn lateral is especially robust. Its has proven its durability in tests and long-term functional testing. The adult sizes were tested for 2 million cycles (= steps), the child sizes for 1 million cycles (= steps).
You move entirely naturally with the WalkOn lateral during the day. When you crouch down or climb stairs, for example, you can put a natural load on the forefoot. The WalkOn lateral is perfectly suited for many everyday situations.
Walk naturally again
Irmgard, the “Silver Queen”, tells her story.
Irmgard’s dream of competing in the Olympics was destroyed by a sports accident. Today, the “Silver Queen” of the Paralympic Games in Rio and Tokyo rises to the challenge of drop foot in everyday life with the dynamic WalkOn lateral.
