Ortho Baltic Easy Walk Carbon fibre AFO
AFO10A is a “foot drop” orthosis made of pure carbon fibre. The construction of the orthosis in the calf area allows limited ankle joint movement.
The sole part near the toes and the heel is more flexible than in the middle. This together with usual for the line “spring” property make walking with the orthosis less tiring.

Indications:
- drop foot secondary to neurological pathologies
- foot and calf extensors after operation
- ankle arthritis
