Action Brace & Prosthetic, Inc.

Carbon Plate

Carbon Plate, Patients requiring increased rigid support of the foot, to decrease Range of Motion.

Diagnoses

Midfoot Osteoarthritis

Turf Toe

Fractures of the Foot

Foot Orthotic

Patients requiring mild to moderate control of foot and ankle and/or minimal knee alignment. Patients who will accept only a low profile device.

Diagnoses

Metatarsalgia

Morton’s Neuroma

Plantar fascitiis (heel pain syndrome)

Mild Posterior Tibialis Tendon Dysfunction (PTTD)

Peroneal Tendonitis

Sesamoiditis

Frontal malalignments (pronation/supination)

Midfoot Osteoarthritis (OA)

Knee Osteoarthritis (OA)

UCB

Patients requiring more frontal control than an FO can provide (increased hind/midfoot control).

Diagnoses

Accessory Navicular

Mild Posterior Tibialis Tendon Dysfunction (PTTD)

Severe Pronation

Supramalleolar (SMO)

Patients with a fleshy foot requiring the control of an UCB (i.e. young children). This device controls the ankle through increased coverage and compression of soft tissue.

Diagnoses

Planovalgus

Reduced/low muscle tone

Short Articulated Ankle Foot Orthosis

Patients requiring significant stabilization in the frontal plane while allowing free motion in the sagital plane. The smaller size of the device causes less disruption to the patient’s gait.

Diagnoses

Ankle instability

Arthritis RA/OA

Peroneal Tendonitis

Posterior Tibialis Tendon Dysfunction (PTTD)

Charcot-Marie-Toothe (CMT)

Severe planovalgus

Lateral Malleolus impingement

Dynamic Short Articulated Ankle Foot Orthosis

Patients with a laxity in the ankle joint requiring control in the frontal plane.

Diagnoses

Ankle instability

Arthritis RA / OA

Peroneal Tendonitis

Posterior Tibialis Tendon Dysfunction (PTTD)

Charcot-Marie-Toothe (CMT)

Severe planovalgus

Lateral Malleolus impingement

Posterior Leaf Spring Ankle Foot Orthosis (PLS)

Patients requiring moderate sagital control and mild frontal control. Brace provides improved clearance in swing phase and reduced foot slap.

Diagnoses

Dorsiflexor weakness (CVA, MS, MD)

Articulated Ankle Foot Orthosis

Free Motion Joints: Patients requiring maximum frontal control without limiting sagital motion.

Additions

Plantar stop: Maximum frontal and plantar control without limiting dorsiflexion. Joint also provides moderate genurecurvatum control.

Adjustable (Double Action Joints): Patients requiring specific multi-planar control at ankle and knee. Joint provides maximum adjustability.

Diagnoses

CVA

Lower extremity weakness

Instability

Stable fractures

Solid Ankle Foot Orthosis

Patients requiring maximum multi-planar motion control at the ankle with moderate knee control.

Diagnoses

Severe ankle instability (Charcot foot/ankle)

Achilles tendonitis/injuries

Degenerative Joint Disease (DJD)

Conventional Ankle Foot Orthosis

Patients who cannot tolerate intimate fit of plastic due to heat retention or fluctuations in volume (edema).

Diagnoses

CVA

Lower extremity weakness

Instability

Stable fractures

Charcot Restraint Orthopedic Walker (CROW)

Patients requiring maximum control of motion/volume with stress reduction (unloading). Brace provides cast-like control.

Diagnoses

Charcot deformity

Non-healing wounds

Fractures

Patellar Tendon Bearing AFO (PTB)

Patients requiring limited ankle motion as well as axial unloading of the distal extremity. Unloading is achieved by transferring the load to the patellar tendon and/or the belly of the gastroc muscle.

Diagnoses

Plantar foot wound

Severe ankle DJD

Distal fracture

Calcaneal Osteotomy

Floor Reaction AFO

Patients requiring improved knee control due to inadequate stance stability/extension control.

Diagnoses

Weak hip and knee extension with weak ankle plantar flexion

CVA

MS

Trauma

Spina bifida

Cerebral palsy

Knee Orthosis (KO)

Patients requiring mild to moderate multi-planar control of knee joint. Various designs available dependent upon control objectives.

Diagnoses

Ligamentous injury (ACL, PCL, MCL, LCL)

Cartilage injuries/meniscus

Stable fractures

Osteoarthritis

Knee Orthosis (Unloader)

Patients requiring unloading of the medial or lateral compartment of the knee (joint space).

Diagnoses

Osteoarthritis

Tibial plateau fracture

Varus or valgus misalignment

Knee Ankle Foot Orthosis (KAFO)

A device placed inside of a shoe used to treat patients that have both a knee and ankle problem. The height of the device extends up to the groin. The device is designed to have different joints applied to both the knee and ankle area to restrict motion.

Diagnoses

DJD, Degenerative Joint Disease

CVA, Cerebral Vascular Accident

Extreme Varus or Valgus Misalignment

Weak or no knee muscle extension

Trauma
