| | Description The Leaf Spring Orthosis function is to prevent excessive drop foot in leg swing. The name of the orthosis, posterior leaf "spring", suggests that it also mechanically augments push-off in stance. It reduces excessive foot drop in the swing and is sufficiently flexible to allow ankle dorsiflexion in midstance. Using the Leaf Spring in terminal stance, the peak power-generating capabilities of the ankle are reduced. The Leaf Spring Orthosis improves ankle function but does not augment ankle function through storage and return of mechanical, or spring, energy. It comfortably offers minimal resistance to full range of motion during the stance phase while preventing foot drop during the swing phase. The slim design and sculptured ankle area of the Leaf Spring Orthosis prevents appliance contact with bony prominences of the malleoli. It also has a cushioned tibial pad that provides comfort, additionally it can be easily trimmed and heated for a more custom fit. Order The Leaf Spring Orthosis Today!
