Leading Edge AFO Designs

HiPro AFO

The Hi Pro is a true energy storing and returning (ESR) AFO and when properly aligned reestablishes leverage in third rocker restoring the patient’s propulsion, allowing them to push off more effectively. In patients with orthopedic or nerve pain below the knee associated with movement, neuromuscular weakness, and partial foot amputation, this is an excellent choice.

Individuals fit with the HiPro can perform a full range of activities (when otherwise capable) including running and jumping.

Features

  1. PTB Proximal end can provide partial unloading and transverse plane control
  2. Designed to redistribute and offload forces throughout lower limb
  3. Posterior strut stores and releases energy during walking/running
  4. Strut can be personalized to augment patient goals
  5. Footplate design promotes a natural 3 rocker gait

Indications

Orthotic

  • Limb salvage injuries
    (ie: nerve/muscle disruption BK)
  • Ankle fusion or failed fusion
  • Calcaneal, midfoot fractures
  • Tarsal conditions
  • Arthritis

Partial foot amputations

  • Lis franc forward

Neuromuscular disorders

  • Other lower extremity dysfunctions

Considerations

  • Best outcomes are associated with staged weight bearing casting to distal femur – see Check Brace Fitting & Casting (CBF&C)
  • Patients with poor vasculature, skin integrity and insensate limbs must be evaluated carefully to ensure candidacy
  • Patient height, weight, muscle strength and knee stability are design drivers
  • Appropriate shoe wear is integral in optimizing the AFO system and outcomes
  • Check braces are required prior to definitive AFO fabrication – see (CBF&C)

TMA AFOs

These TMAs were developed by a team of highly skilled Hanger Clinic orthetists who combined their clinical experience, knowledge of anatomy, and computerized gait analysis to completely rethink and improve designs.

TMA-1 Design

  • Mid-Calf
  • Northvane SMO
  • Copoly
  • TMA insert
  • Solid AFO

Indications

  • Fixed/Painful Ankle

TMA-2 Design

  • Mid-Calf
  • TMA insert
  • Copoly
  • Launchpad Joint
  • Articulated AFO
  • X
  • Northvane SMO

Indications

  • Compromised Skin
  • Equino-Varus
  • PF Contracture

XOS AFO

Hanger XOS is an AFO System which integrates a Fabtech system PDE strut mounted onto a shoe. The AFO is designed for easy donning and doffing, to optimize limb alignment and to foster a healthy foot and ankle complex.

Features

  1. Laminated calf section with adjustable anterior closure
  2. Patient specific posterior strut and carbon footplate
  3. PTB variation is available to request

Indications

  • Neurological presentations
  • Ortho/trauma/limb salvage
  • Partial foot
  • Pediatric designs are available

Considerations

The superstructure is embedded directly into the shoe wear and is not removable by the patient, but can be removed and transferred to a new shoe.
