Step Smart 

Designed specifically for Drop Foot patients

 

The Step Smart  allows for more efficient gait by allowing Plantarflexion. Plantarflexion is important at heel strike because it moves the Floor Reaction Force more Anterior.  This is a more stable dynamic position.  The patient will appreciate the ease of walking.



 

 

 

 

 

Without Plantarflexion the Floor Reaction Force is more posterior and creates a Knee Flexion moment that the patient has to fight.  This can result in the buckling of the knee.

The Step Smart  provides the best Plantarflexion.
