WalkOn Reaction 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.
That is precisely what the WalkOn Reaction lateral does. The carbon orthosis helps to elevate the foot during the swing phase, making the gait safer 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.
In addition, the WalkOn Reaction lateral supports the knee joint thanks to its special design. When the foot lowering muscles are impaired as well, you also benefit from the high energy return of the orthosis, which is activated during the rollover motion of the foot. This lets you walk more naturally again.

WalkOn Reaction lateral – lightweight, stabilising, robust
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 Reaction lateral in the shoe and then slide your foot in
The WalkOn Reaction lateral is lightweight, slim and discreet under clothing. A shin pad makes it even more comfortable for you.
The WalkOn Reaction 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 WalkOn Reaction lateral promotes a largely physiological gait. Depending on your current phase in the gait cycle, the special orthosis design (frontal support element) supports knee extension and flexion. Your gait pattern becomes smoother.
The WalkOn Reaction 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).
Compensating movements can lead to signs of wear. The WalkOn Reaction lateral reduces this thanks to its high energy return. You walk more symmetrically because the orthosis stores energy at heel strike and releases it again during the rollover movement of the foot.
