Revolutionary New Carbon Fiber Brace
Updates the UCBL Standard
The Aligner AFO is a revolutionary new orthotic brace that updates the University of California Biomechanics Lab (UCBL) standard. The Aligner AFO is designed for posterior tibial tendon dysfunction (PTTD) and pathologies that create medial / lateral instability or varus / valgus deformity. Available exclusively Custom-from-cast.
This custom AFO has free motion dorsi / plantar flexion with rigid medial-lateral control. The posted UCBL footplate is combined with a unilateral upright for a three point pressure system that enhances the proven therapeutic value of the UCBL. The most common application is PTTD but it is also effective for bracing many conditions that cause M-L instability.
Unique Features of The Aligner AFO:
- Ultra lightweight and very high strength-to-weight ratio due to advanced carbon fiber construction
- High UCBL style footplate
- Unilateral free motion articulation
- Heel posting
- Minimal bulk
- Optional dorsi assist spring
The Aligner AFO is designed to:
- Correct medial and lateral deformities
- Stabilize the ankle throughout the gait cycle
- Reduce pain associated with degenerative / arthritic ankle
