Side Element AFO

Custom from Cast or Scan

• Complete immobilization of the ankle
• Perfect for patient prone to breaks
• Full medial and lateral strut
• Open design makes it lightweight and easy to don
• More rigid and comfortable than thermoplastics

The Side element is an extremely rigid AFO used to completely immobilize the ankle. This design offers tri-planar control which reduces stresses and pain at the ankle and foot. It comes standard as a posterior AFO but can easily be changed to anterior or a step though design to give you ground reaction forces. The open posterior design makes it easy and less bulky to wear. The Side Element is highly customizable and has many options which are listed below.

If you are a patient and want to see if the Side Element is the right device for you, talk with your local practitioner or visit our clinic at Kinetic Research.
