The Trulife Matrix Struts are a great option for those requiring a custom posterior leaf spring AFO. These struts offer M-L stability and graded plantar/dorsiflexion at the ankle to improve gait biomechanics and promote a more natural gait pattern. These struts are made of a prepreg composite and can be draped into an AFOs for a low-profile design.
Indications:
- Stroke
- Neuromuscular disorders
- Lower motor neuron lesions
- Foot and ankle deformities
Features:
- Made of prepreg composite: utilises energy storage and return properties to help propel the leg forward at toeoff.
- Low profile: bracketless design allows the struts to be moulded into the AFO
- Available in 2 widths, each with two levels of flexibility (Medium, Firm)
- Length of 18” (45 cm) which is to be trimmed to required length
- Provides excellent mediolateral stability similar to a rigid ankle type AFO while still allowing graded plantarflexion and dorsiflexion
