Toe off / toe flexibility
For maximum toe flexibility.
Toe shelf distal trimlines
- Plantar surface of plastic ends proximal or distal to met heads for maximum toe flexibility.
- Three options:
1. Plantar trim distal to met heads
2. Plantar trim proximal to met heads
3. Plantar trim medial proximal and lateral distal to met heads.
(example shown is DAFO 4, but can be done to almost any brace design).
Request in Special Instructions section of order form (e.g., “Easy toe-off trimline #3”).
