?:definition
  • Gait rigid ankle-foot orthoses designed to provide an additional reactive (i.e., the floor reaction) force and momentum to the knee. These devices carefully choose the orthotic ankle angle which blocks the forward tibial movement using a solid rigid ankle articulation. These orthoses typically consist of semi-rigid or rigid orthoses encircling the lower leg and foot. They are made of thermoplastics or, less frequently, of metal and leather. Floor reaction rigid ankle orthoses facilitate the normal function of otherwise partially or totally disabled ankle joint or foot, alleviating pain and facilitating stance in patients with a weak ankle joint (e.g., as a sequel of poliomyelitis).
