Ten Years of Trust Now 10 Percent Off the 1C40

C-Walk® has proven itself with ten years of performance. Now through 2008's end, take 10 percent off on this remarkable carbon-fiber foot!

The patented C-element cushions at heel strike while providing controlled plantarflexion, reaching stable foot flat quickly. Next, the stored energy in the C-element releases, facilitating smooth roll-over. As forefoot loading increases, the C-spring element expands and the toe spring flexes and then releases this stored energy at toe off. With a 220 lb./100kg weight limit, its an excellent option for patients at K3 and K4 activity levels.

KiddieGAIT—The Latest ToeOFF Product

KiddieGAIT™ is an engineered composite frame with anterior shell, lateral strut, and an energy-reflecting footplate with open calcaneus, all designed to allow customization of the frame into a ground-reaction AFO or a partial-foot prosthesis. The energy-reflecting properties of this system reduce the amount of energy required to lift and move the foot forward.

The anterior shell design triggers enhanced "position in space" proprioceptive response and assists in management of proximal deficits by helping to overcome either knee hyperextension or crouch gait. Functional environments can be created that supplement gait function instead of immobilizing and inhibiting function.
