Characteristics

• PowerWave Technology in the cushion layer allows for a natural gait pattern
• for the sport and leisure
• preventative effect

Natural gait pattern

The PowerWave Technology in the cushion layer of the foot orthosis supports the natural heel- to- toe movement of the foot. The soft materials cushion the step, while the rigid materials guide and support the foot where this is needed. Pressure is relieved, both on the feet and on the entire musculosketal and locomotor system.

Designs and uses

The foot orthosis optimally meets the requirements of an active lifestyle. The effect of the orthopedic foot orthosis is particularly noticeable with fast, and powerful movements. The comfort sports matches the fit of most leisure shoes. It can be fitted in these shoes quickly and easily, provided that they have a removable sole with a thickness of approx. 3 mm and a corresponding width.

Construction of the foot orthosis

1) Microfiber top cover

This top cover provides a comfortable contact layer with the foot. The presence of silver ions helps to prevent both bacteria and odors.

2) Cushion layer with PowerWave Technology (25°/35°/45° Shore A)

This layer, made of EVA, is designed in movement- specific guidance, support and cushioning zones, which are arranged (vertically) adjacent to one another. The functional zones work biodynamically- the foot is optimically guided in each step. 

3) Synthetic core

The moderate arch supports of the synthetic core and the slightly cup- shaped heel support the foot arches and improve hindfoot stability.

4) Bottom coating

The special grid film ensures a non- slip contact surface between the foot orthosis and the soe.

Uses

• suitable for sport and leisure enthusiasts, who are wearing an orthopedic foot orthosis for the first time and who wish to prevent the risk of injury.

Durability

• high- quality and durable materials mean that the foot orthosis remains serviceable even after prolonged use- but this does fundamentally depend on the load.
• We recommend that the functional properties should be checked regularly (after a maximum of 6 months)

Cleaning instructions

• wipe the surfaces using a mild cleanser and a sponge (except leather top covers)
• Not machine- washable
• Do not expose to direct heat (heater, direct sunlight)

Modification instructions- Specically for medical retailers

• The outline of the foot orthosis can be ground in a taper shape 
• Easy to grind (grinding belt and pumice stone, grain 80-100)
• Partial thermoplastic molding possible (hot air blower 100°C-130°C (212-266°F), partially for approx. 20 sec.)

Main indications

• Platfoot-/ Splayfoot
• Pes valgus

Concomitant indications

• Mild and moderate severity of hollow foot 1
• Post- traumatic foot deformities 1
• Achilles tendon complaints 1
• Knee joint/ back pain 1

(1) depending on the severity of the foot, knee or back deformity

Effectiveness

• Moderate support for flattened foot arches or for foot arches subjected to heavy loads, relief of pressure of the joints and correction of mild misalignments of the locomotor system 
• frequently also alleviates knee and back pain
• Biodynamic gait pattern
