Articulated ValgaNoodle AFO

Custom from Cast or Scan

• Design makes donning and doffing easy

The Articulated ValgaNoodle AFO is similar to the Solid ValgaNoodle but it incorporates a joint at either the medial or lateral malleolus. It includes a medial or lateral “Reverse-T” designed to support ankle deformities. This design gives the practitioner the ability to limit ROM as necessary using a mechanical joint. The “Reverse-T” gives the user the ability to vary the amount of pressure applied just proximal to the malleolus making it comfortable and functional. This AFO is easy to wear and takes up significantly less shoe space than plastic AFOs.   The articulated ValgaNoodle is highly customizable and has many options which are listed below.
