Carbon Fibre Orthotic Splints

• Carbon Fibre Ankle-Foot Orthoses (AFOs)
• Carbon Fibre Dynamic Ankle-Foot Orthoses (DAFOs)
• Carbon Fibre Supramalleolar Orthoses (SMOs)
• Carbon Fibre Ground Reaction Ankle-Foot Orthoses (GRAFOs)
• Carbon Fibre Knee-Ankle-Foot Orthoses (KAFOs)
• Carbon Fibre Hip-Knee-Ankle-Foot Orthoses (HKAFOs)

These devices can be crafted from carbon fibre to provide optimal strength and functionality while remaining exceptionally lightweight, ensuring maximum mobility and minimal discomfort, even during prolonged wear.

• Stroke Recovery: To support foot drop and improve gait stability.
• Multiple Sclerosis (MS): For managing muscle weakness and spasticity.
• Parkinson’s Disease: To enhance balance and reduce the risk of falls.
• Spinal Cord Injuries: For stabilising joints and supporting mobility.
• Peripheral Neuropathy: To provide stability and prevent falls.
• Charcot Foot: For redistributing pressure and protecting foot structure.
• Post-Polio Syndrome: To address muscle weakness and joint instability.
• Osteoarthritis: For reducing pain and improving joint alignment.
• Rheumatoid Arthritis: To enhance joint function and reduce strain.

AFOs are designed to support the ankle and foot, providing stability and aiding in proper alignment. They are ideal for individuals managing conditions such as foot drop or muscle weakness. When constructed from carbon fibre, AFOs offer a spring-like effect, which can enhance dynamic movement and energy efficiency for users recovering from neurological conditions. The use of carbon fibre in AFOs allows for a lighter and more comfortable fit while maintaining robust support. Here is an example of one market leading off the shelf type of carbon fibre splint we have available for a trail - Toe Off

DAFOs are flexible, dynamic devices that help improve balance and mobility. The use of carbon fibre enhances flexibility and responsiveness, enabling smoother transitions during movement and reducing the risk of fatigue. They are particularly suitable for those who need support without compromising on natural movement. Discover more on our DAFOs page.

SMOs provide targeted support to the ankle of foot region, improving stability during walking and standing. Carbon fibre materials make these orthoses incredibly lightweight and discreet, ideal for individuals who prioritise comfort and aesthetics in their orthotic solutions.

GRAFOs promote an upright posture and reduce knee instability, making them beneficial for individuals with weak quadriceps or crouch gait. Incorporating carbon fibre improves durability and ensures consistent support during high-impact or demanding activities. Read more on our GRAFOs page.

KAFOs extend from the foot to the knee, offering comprehensive support for those with significant muscle weakness or joint instability, such as after spinal cord injuries. Carbon fibre significantly reduces the weight of KAFOs and enhances their durability, improving user comfort and compliance during prolonged wear. Explore more on our KAFOs page.

HKAFOs provide extensive support from the hips to the feet, assisting individuals with severe mobility challenges. By using carbon fibre, these devices remain strong and durable while minimising the weight placed on the user, an important consideration for those with limited strength or endurance.
