The joints may be customized to one of five different levels of dorsiflexion assistance. The practitioner can determine the proper level of dorsiflexion assistance by evaluating the patient’s step-length, weight and other factors.  In general, the compression components are chosen to match the patient’s specific shock absorption requirements.

The Importance of Deceleration at Heel Strike

 A common complaint with traditional Foot Drop devices is the uncomfortable and often painful “foot slap”. The Step-Smart pushes the foot into gentle dorsiflexion during swing phase and then decelerates the foot during heel strike. The brace provides the correct timing of shock absorption and the ideal level of plantarflexion resistance. This prevents foot slap and increases patient comfort.
