DAFO FlexiSport strut flexibility

August 28, 2013

The DAFO FlexiSport brace style can now be ordered with your choice of posterior strut flexibility—moderately flexible or semi-rigid. This plantarflexion / dorsiflexion resist brace design is ideal for larger, more active patients, especially teens, who need moderate to strong ankle control, sturdy support and flexibility. We’ve now increased the flexibility selection of the posterior strut making it easier to ask for exactly what you want.

Choose the standard, moderately flexible posterior strut for most applications, including:

Choose the alternate, semi-rigid posterior strut for:

Excess dorsiflexion / crouching
When patient size or strength require a more rigid strut for the desired functional outcome.

A notable difference to be aware of when ordering:

Prior to this change, the standard for all DAFO FlexiSports was “semi-rigid”. After this change, the standard will become “moderately flexible" to match most patient applications. Beginning in September, you will see both choices listed this way on the updated product order form.
