• the PeroSupport.tec ankle-foot-orthosis can be used for patients suffering from dorsal extension deficiency of the foot, resulting to the so-called “steppage gait“
• the PeroSupport.tec ankle-foot-orthosis limits the plantar flexion in the upper ankle joint and therefore causes the foot to lift during swing phase
• magnetic closure simplifies opening and closing with one hand
• great energy storage and -return by carbon-pre-preg material

The PeroSupport.tec may be customised to foot shape and -size by cutting the sole as per requirements. The supplied micro-fleece insole can be cut into shape as well. Carbon-pre-preg is not thermo-formable.
