Watch Kate walk & run in her PDE Prosthesis.
The spring and alignment is changed
between the 2 activities for optimal function.
In the picture above, Kate competed in the
Grand to Grand in Utah USA in her PDE
Prosthesis. Click the picture to watch her function.
Orthopaedic
ReAktiv Orthosis for the orthopaedic client with chronic foot/ankle injury!
Daniel Kirk
Daniel suffered a severe foot/ankle injury while
playing AFL football for Glenelg
in the SANFL. Watch Daniel walk
& compete in discus in his ReAktiv Orthosis.
Reaktiv
Originally designed to partially offload the foot
and ankle to relieve pressure and pain,
addressing complex lower limb injuries
and other indications that result in patient pain.
Carbon PDE
What is the Carbon PDE System comprised of?
Adult Spring
Removable & Adjustability
The PDE Strut currently comes in 3 lengths: 200mm, 250mm & 300mm. The struts are removable and adjustable and the client &/or clinician can change the strut stiffness depending on the particular activity they are doing. Pre-threaded stainless steel anchors are laminated within the fibre matrix which facilitates precise strut adjustment.
Kid’s Spring
0.5 & 0.75 Spring Stiffness
Two paediatric struts have been developed that are 200mm in length. They come in a 0.5 & 0.75 stiffness and some kids may benefit from a stiffer 200mm Category 1 strut for higher functioning activities such as running. Lightweight anchors are laminated within the matrix which facilitates precise strut adjustment.
Shim Kit
Removable Carbon Fibre Shims
A Paediatric & Adult shim kit has been developed which allows changes to be made to the ankle planatarflexion dorsiflexion angle. A shim which allows external or internal rotation of the foot section on the calf section is also included in both shim kits.
BOA Closure
Optional Click Medical Cuff System
An optional Click Medical BOA Closure is available with the PDE. Clients who require foot/ankle complex off-loading can tight the BOA closure to take Moore weight through the proximal calf/tibia. Conversely, if a client has volume fluctuation, the BOA closure can be used to provide an adjustable proximal calf fit.
Fitting Kit
200, 250 & 300 mm Fitting Kit
An optional Click Medical BOA Closure is available with the PDE. Clients who require foot/ankle complex off-loading can tight the BOA closure to take Moore weight through the proximal calf/tibia. Conversely, if a client has volume fluctuation, the BOA closure can be used to provide an adjustable proximal calf fit.
Thermoplastic PDE
Modular, Adjustable & Dynamic!
Thermoplastic PDE Cautions
- PDE/TP Springs cannot be modified by applying heat.
- Not designed for unloading a patients' weight
- Originally designed for thermoplastic use, PDE/TP springs may be used in composite bracing where unloading of patient weight is not a factor.
New PDE/TP Modular Springs
Easily adjust and tune to the appropriate spring category to provide maximum function and energy return.
• Available in 5 categories of stiffness and a common 250mm length size.
• Easy to use shim kit provides the ability to adjust alignment in both the footplate and upper cuff post manufacturing, addressing external, internal, plantar & dorsiflexion adjustments.Modular, Dynamic & Adjustable!
Designed as modular, adjustable and easy to use.
PDE/TP springs for thermoplastic bracing are a perfect solution for:
• Any patient who would benefit from a custom posterior leaf spring AFO where pain and offloading of weight are not a key factor.
• Patients with moderate muscle weakness who would benefit from dorsiflexion & plantarflexion control
