From the Inventor
"The ValgaNoodle AFO is a new approach to a old orthopedic dilema. One of the most difficult deformities to address effectively with bracing is ankle and foot varus. In the past, bulky and cumbersome devices would attempt to lock the users foot into a static position. The ValgaNoodle AFO uses a dynamic 3 point system that moves with the users body while applying a constant corrective valgus force. The ValgaNoodle AFO is only available custom-from-cast. The casts are corrected to a more normal foot position. The ValgaNoodle AFO is fabricated in the improved position. The dynamic properties of The ValgaNoodle AFO allow the user to easily don and doff the device. Once applied it creates a constant valgus force designed to improve positioning. The dynamic lateral control coupled with a dynamic footplate leads to more confident and natural gait."
