PeroSupport

• Peroneal spring thermoplastically mouldable, made of polypropylene (PP), including calf pad

Mode of Action

• ready to fit semi-finished product allows quick and individual production of a function-adjuvant orthosis type AFO
• lower leg orthosis consists of injected polypropylene, which is a multi-phase copolymer and features an optimal combination of good impact resistance as well as high rigidity  
• lower leg orthosis can be used for patients with dorsal-extension deficiency of the foot, resulting in drop foot gait  
• lower leg orthosis limits the plantar flexion in the upper ankle joint and therefore causes lifting of the foot during swing phase

Indication

• drop foot 
• peroneal paresis
• hemiplegics with mainly limp tip toe position

Contraindication

• material interactions/allergies
• do not wear directly on injured, irritated or damaged skin
• weight limit: 120 kg
• foot or ankle deformities
• swellings and dilation of the calf skin
• sensory disorders (e.g. polyneuropathy)
• diabetic foot syndrome/-ulcers
• heavy circulatory disorders/lymphoedema 

The one-piece closing calf pad is made of non-irritant, synthetic and smooth material and can be fixed to the orthosis in only one step. Due to this construction, riveting is not necessary any longer.

The calf cushions are removable and machine washable.

Orthosis can be finished by use of a hot-air gun.
