Problems solved by technology

However, prior art AFOs are generally not light and are not anatomically shaped to comfortably fit the foot and leg in the AFO
[0015] Furthermore, prior art orthoses for locomotion provide neither lateral stabilization nor anteroposterior stabilization
Additionally, these prior art orthotics may slide or move relative to the shoe unless they are integrally integrated with the shoe

Abstract

The disclosure is related to an ankle-foot orthosis element and a method of manufacturing therefor and provides for stability in a lateral direction as well as in a front-rear direction of an ankle-foot orthosis element. Moving or sliding of the orthosis in relation to the shoe is prevented. In one embodiment an ankle-foot orthosis element is provided, which comprises a base plate element (30), at least one supporting element (21, 22) supported by the base plate element (30); a top section (23) supported by the at least one supporting element (21, 22) and wherein the base plate element (30) comprises a concave shape for fixation of the ankle-foot orthosis element in a foot wear, such as a shoe or a sport shoe.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to the field of footwear, in particular to orthopedic shoes and more particularly to an ankle-foot orthotic element. Background technique [0002] Weakness and paralysis of the anterior muscle group of the lower leg causes the forefoot to drop, the result of which is called a transthreshold gait, in which the progressive leg is raised in order to lift the toes off the ground. Foot drop can have many causes, including: damage to the dorsiflex muscles or the nerves to these muscles, neuropathy, multiple sclerosis, stroke, drug intoxication, and diabetes. One treatment for this condition is the use of an ankle-foot orthosis (AFO). [0003] An ankle-foot orthosis is a brace, usually plastic or carbon-based, worn over the lower leg and foot to support the ankle and foot, keep the foot and ankle in the correct position, and correct foot drop. AFOs are also known as foot drop braces or drop foot braces. [0004] Usin...
