Ankle Foot Orthosis for Plantar Pressure Offloading the Diabetic Foot Ulcer

Ankle Foot Orthosis (AFO) is an off-the-shelf device designed for people with Diabetic Foot Ulcer (DFU), using indigenous materials and technology for pressure offloading.

Diabetes affects over 90 million Indians, with DFU impacting 25% of patients and having a high recurrence rate. AFO is specifically designed to offload plantar pressure, correct gait, and improve posture.

• Standardized posterior and anterior shell dimensions, along with a newly designed midsole, ensure uniform plantar pressure distribution and offloading force from affected foot areas.
• AFO is made using anatomically efficient and indigenous materials.
