The only orthosis designed for those whose ability to walk is hindered by spasticity caused by a central nervous system disorder (e.g.: stroke, multiple sclerosis, etc.)
Similar devices are generally contraindicated by the manufacturer itself
in cases of moderate to severe foot spasticity.
(*AFO: ankle foot orthosis)
Opponent® is the only orthosis that prevents the forefoot and ankle from rotating inward.This allows the weight of the body to be distributed immediately and safely.
Absent when the subject with spasticity is stationary, the supination reflex occurs when walking, which results in a hindered or slower gait as the weight of the body is prevented from being distributed to the paretic side.
Though the gait remains spastic, it willbe safer and more stable, therefore faster.
• Made of composite fibres.
• Lightweight.
• Easy to put on and take off with just one hand!
• It can be worn with any shoe, without altering its efficacy.
