The Soto utilizes the patented technology of the Noodle and integrates a flexible hemi-SMO resulting in the most advanced carbon fiber AFO for moderate to severe varus deformities. The hemi-SMO is designed to reduce pressure on the lateral malleolus and is completely trimmed away at the 5th metatarsal base. Using biomechanical leverage, the Soto is able to correct and support the ankle and foot in the most functional position. The intimate fit and reduction of unnecessary material makes shoe fitting tremendously easier. The Soto is highly customizable and has many options which are listed below.
Soto AFO’s are available exclusively through clinical orthotists and prosthetists.
Check with your doctor and orthotist to verify that you can safely use the Soto AFO. The Soto 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 Soto AFO.
Your doctor/orthotist will determine if the Soto AFO is right for you!
Do not use the Soto AFO for ambulation or transfer if you are not capable of ambulation or transfer.
