YPSILON™ a member of the ToeOFF® family of carbon composite AFOs, Ypsilon less involved cases of foot drop. It allows more medial, lateral and rotational ankle movement to provide opportunity for functional, or potentially functional muscles, tendons and ligaments to function and strength. The long strut provides less resistance to ground reaction forces. Three-point fixation/force principles provide dorsiflexion control. Strut extends lateral to instep for greater clearance. Proximal ends of the "y" provide the proximal fixation points, eliminating pressure on the tibia crest.
Ypsilon™
Ypsilon was designed for the stable ankle to provide dynamic toe-off assist, whilst allowing natural ankle movements.
Allows more medial, lateral and rotational ankle movement to provide opportunity for functional, or potentially functional, muscles, tendons, and ligaments to function and strengthen.
Ypsilon is recommended for patients with:
- Weak dorsi-flexors
- Peroneal nerve injury
- No or mild spasticity
- Stable ankle
- Sensory Nerve Injury
Maximum Ankle Freedom
Designed to provide dynamic toe-off assist, while allowing natural ankle movements, for the stable ankle. This design provides opportunity for functional or potentially functional muscles, tendons, and ligaments to function and strengthen. Individuals with limited energy or physiological endurance may require less energy to overcome ground reaction forces and obtain a smoother gait.
• Three point fixation/force principle.
Dorsi-flexion control while allowing natural ankle movements.
• Long strut (leverage arm).
Allows orthosis to adapt to and move with the lower leg.
Less resistance to ground reaction forces.
• Strut extends lateral to instep.
Greater instep clearance.
Allows more medial, lateral and rotational ankle movement.
• Proximal ends of the ”Y” provide the tibia fixation.
