PDE Orthosis
It’s your choice!
How does the
PDE Function?
Influence walking fluency by
controlling ankle motion
instead of immobilising the joint!
Amputee
PDE Prosthesis for the Partial Foot Amputee!
Orthopaedic
ReAktiv Orthosis for the orthopaedic client with chronic foot/ankle injury!
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
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
