🟢 Core Value & Medical Purpose
- Provide stable ankle support: Core function. By binding and immobilization of the lower leg, abnormal varus or valgus of the ankle joint can be effectively restricted, preventing the risk of sprain caused by muscle weakness, spasm or poor control, and providing a safe foundation for learning to walk and rehabilitation.
- Correcting foot drop and foot inversion: Through specific structural designs (such as lateral struts, sole pedals), the foot is maintained in a functional position (90 degrees), improving the dragging and circular gait during walking, and achieving a more standard and effortless gait cycle.
- Compensatory muscle function: It provides mechanical assistance for ankle dorsiflexion weakness caused by nerve injury (such as stroke, spinal cord injury), muscle atrophy, etc., and helps the toe tip lift off the ground during the swing period.
- Prevention and correction of deformities: Long-term use can help maintain the correct biomechanical structure of the foot and ankle, and prevent secondary damage such as joint contracture and deformation.
- Enhance recovery confidence: By providing external protection, reduce patients' fear of falls, and increase their courage and compliance in standing and walking training.
🟢 Target Users
- Patients with neurological diseases: hemiplegia caused by stroke, brain trauma, spinal cord injury, cerebral palsy in children, multiple sclerosis, etc., resulting in foot drop and foot inversion.
- Postoperative rehabilitation patients of musculoskeletal injuries: Patients with ankle fractures, Achilles tendon ruptures, ligament tears, etc., who need fixation and gradual restoration of load-bearing function after surgery.
- Patients with muscle weakness: weakness in the ankle caused by other reasons such as low anterior tibial muscle strength and progressive muscular dystrophy.
- The elderly: Due to the decline in muscle strength and balance function caused by aging, they need auxiliary support to prevent falls.
🟢 Usage Scenarios
- Rehabilitation institution training: Under the guidance of a physical therapist, conduct gait training, balance training and functional activities.
- Family daily rehabilitation: It is used for walking indoors and outdoors, conducting daily activities, and improving self-care ability.
- Hospitals and nursing homes: Provide safe mobility assistance for inpatients or residents of nursing homes.
🟢 Conclusion & Warnings
Rehabilitation foot support fixation belts are an important medical assistive device, and their core value lies in safety and functionality. It is not an ordinary protective gear but a prescribed rehabilitation tool.
