The WalkOn helps people with dorsiflexor weakness. Lift the foot during the swing phase so that the gait becomes safer and more dynamic.

Safer walking

People with permanent dorsiflexor weakness depend on a medical aid that lifts their foot while walking.

That is precisely what the WalkOn does. It helps lift the foot during the swing phase, so that the gait becomes safer again while the risk of stumbling and falling is reduced. The tip of the foot no longer gets caught as easily on small obstacles or uneven ground.

The ankle foot orthosis is made of a modern carbon fibre prepreg material which is very lightweight. There is a carbon fibre spring at the back that extends from the Achilles tendon to the calf. For users with residual musculature, the WalkOn provides support while walking. At toe-off the orthosis releases previously stored energy so that walking becomes smoother. The ankle joint is stabilised at the same time.

More flexibility while walking

People with permanent dorsiflexor weakness depend on a medical aid that lifts their foot while walking.

That is precisely what the WalkOn Flex does. It helps lift the foot during the swing phase, so that the gait becomes safer again while the risk of stumbling and falling is reduced. The tip of the foot no longer gets caught as easily on small obstacles or uneven ground.

Thanks to the material (glass and carbon fibre composite; Outlast) and its special design, the WalkOn Flex is particularly well suited if you want more flexibility in the ankle and knee. If you have adequate residual musculature – this is where your doctor or orthotist will assist you with detailed advice – the WalkOn Flex will provide you with good support, especially also on uneven surfaces.

The WalkOn Reaction helps people with dorsiflexor weakness to lift the foot while using ground reaction forces to influence the knee and ankle joint.

Also supports the knee joint

People with permanent dorsiflexor weakness depend on a medical aid that lifts their foot while walking.

That is precisely what the WalkOn Reaction does. It helps lift the foot during the swing phase, so that the gait becomes safer while the risk of stumbling and falling is reduced. The tip of the foot no longer gets caught as easily on small obstacles or uneven ground.

Thanks to its special design, the WalkOn Reaction supports the knee joint as well. When the foot lowering musculature is impaired in addition, you also benefit from the high energy return of the orthosis, which is activated during the rollover motion of the foot. You walk more naturally again.

Children who have minor paralysis of the lower limbs wear the WalkOn Reaction junior. It uses the ground reaction force to support dorsiflexion and the knee joint. The orthosis can be used from shoe size 24.

Incredibly dynamic!

The WalkOn Reaction junior is the new member of the WalkOn range, intended especially for children with mild neurological deficits of the lower limbs. It offers these children a higher level of overall support than conventional orthoses in this field. The dynamic ankle-foot orthosis improves dorsiflexion and uses ground reaction forces to stabilise the knee and ankle joint.

Applied to the front of the lower leg, the orthosis promotes a more stable, largely physiological gait. The risk of stumbling and falling is reduced and movement patterns are improved.

The orthosis design adapts to the children’s different sizes and respective anatomical conditions. The WalkOn Reaction gets high marks from kids for its numerous advantages, in addition to being very comfortable to wear.
