SAFO - OTTOBOCK

Fabricated from silicone, the silicone ankle foot orthosis (SAFO) is an alternative to conventional orthoses for dorsiflexor weakness. In contrast to conventional ankle foot orthoses, the SAFO supports your foot not from below but across the arch of the foot from above in order to prevent the foot from dropping.

The great advantage of this principle is that thanks to the thin, flexible sole, you can feel the ground conditions directly and detect uneven surfaces such as stones and doorsteps. The result: enhanced safety and self-confidence when walking.

Since the SAFO is worn directly on the foot, it can be worn without firm shoes. You can even go barefoot. This lets you wear the orthosis throughout the day even when you’re swimming, bathing, or showering – out and about, at the pool or at home.
