The Dynamic ValgaNoodle AFO is a flexible device that has dynamic motion through the strut and footplate. It includes a medial or lateral “Reverse-T” designed to support ankle deformities. The patented D.E.R.S. strut allows the patient to actively plantar flex and dorsiflex the AFO which helps maintain normal gait patterns. 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 design is easy to wear and takes up significantly less shoe space than plastic AFOs. The Dynamic ValgaNoodle is highly customizable and has many options which are listed below.
Dynamic ValgaNoodle AFO’s are available exclusively through clinical orthotists and prosthetists.
Check with your doctor and orthotist to verify that you can safely use the Dynamic ValgaNoodle AFO. The Dynamic ValgaNoodle AFO applies biomechanical corrective forces to the leg, increasing ambulatory performance. Your doctor/orthotist will select the proper design to maximize these benefits specific to your individual needs. Your doctor/orthotists will be there for any follow-up care, adjustments, repairs and its eventual replacement. Ask your doctor/orthotist for guidance on the use and care of your Dynamic ValgaNoodle AFO.
Your doctor/orthotist will determine if the Dynamic ValgaNoodle AFO is right for you!
Do not use the Dynamic ValgaNoodle AFO for ambulation or transfer if you are not capable of ambulation or transfer.
