ProLab Orthotics Functional AFO
The ProLab Functional AFO provides the benefits of two treatment modalities in one device. The custom-balanced foot orthosis combined with semirigid uprights is the only modality that simultaneously controls the ankle joint, subtalar joint, and midtarsal joint. The three hinge options provide the following ankle motion control:
Flexible hinge (full sagittal plane motion)
Fixed hinge (no sagittal plane motion)
Dorsiflexion assist (for drop foot)
The Functional AFO provides symptom control for:
Posterior tibialis dysfunction
Severe pes planus Lateral ankle instability
Degenerative joint disease of ankle, subtalar, or metatarsal joint
Drop foot
The design of our Functional AFO also addresses patient comfort and shoe fit with the following features:
Streamline design for better shoe fit
Lighter, thinner, high-performance polypropylene shell for improved comfort and compliance
Classic 3-strap system for improved control
Easy in-office conversion from fixed hinge to flexible hinge AFO
