WalkOn Reaction Junior

The WalkOn Reaction junior is the new member of the WalkOn line. Based on the WalkOn Reaction plus, it features highly dynamic properties. The ankle foot orthosis uses the ground reaction force to significantly improve the user’s gait pattern. It is geared towards children, who require greater support than that provided by traditional dorsiflexion assist orthoses.

Benefits at a glance:

• Highly dynamic properties (use of ground reaction force)
• Carbon fibre prepreg material for high energy return
• High wearer comfort due to low weight and open heel and the anatomically designed frontal support element
• Shin pad made of temperature - regulating material for improved skin hygiene and wearer comfort
• Combination with additional dynamic ankle foot orthoses (DAFOs) possible
• All fabric parts can be washed and replaced
• Sole can be trimmed to size
• Can be worn with sturdy standard shoes

Indications:

• Cerebral palsy
• For dorsiflexor weakness, without or with mild to moderate spasticity
• Hemiparesis, diparesis

Effects:

• Supports lifting of the foot
• Promotes dynamic rollover
• Can help increase the stride length by improving muscle dynamics
• Helps promote exterior rotation of the foot at heel strike
• Helps promote a physiological gait pattern
• May reduce the risk of falling
