The Aircast PodaLib AFO offers a dynamic and functional approach to address muscular weaknesses or foot-lifting muscles deficits, resulting in drop foot.
The benefits of the Aircast Podalib are immediate, allowing the patient to regain a more supple, natural and spontaneous walking pattern, gaining in mobility and confidence.
Features:
- Dynamic - supple textile structure (no hard components) promotes natural ambulation and no hindering of movements, unlike rigid AFOs
- Versatile - the Podalib is compatible with all shoe styles* and can be worn with shoes or barefoot, even while swimming
- Comfortable - breathable, honeycomb textile provides optimal comfort even during long term use while an adjustable ankle cuff conforms to patient’s anatomy. Includes posterior foam pad for added protection of the Achilles tendon area
- Discreet - lightweight and low-profile, the Podalib AFO can be worn very discreetly under any type of clothing
- Ease of application - simple and intuitive application can be applied with just one hand
