DAFO TurboH Softy
Product Features
The DAFO TurboH Softy uses a soft foam liner for comfortable control of foot position combined with a sturdy hinged proximal upright that effectively blocks excess plantarflexion. The TurboH Softy provides one of the highest levels of ankle/foot control available in the DAFO line of orthoses, and is ideal for larger patients (over 65 lbs.) who exhibit strong excess plantarflexion, resulting in toe walking or knee hyperextension

Common Questions about DAFO TurboH Softy
DAFO TurboH Softy keeps the same hinged plantarflexion-blocking function as the standard DAFO TurboH, but adds a soft foam liner for more comfortable control of feet that are difficult to align or have sensitive bony prominences.
It is best suited for patients who present with strong excess plantarflexion, have sufficient range to allow correction, and require extra padding for sensitive bony prominences. Ideal for larger patients over 65 lbs.
