THE AFO GOLD STANDARD
Over the past 25 years, the Richie Brace® has become the preferred non-surgical treatment for common ankle conditions. It has become the Gold Standard in AFO fit and efficacy.
Introduced to the medical community in 1996, The Richie Brace® has revolutionized the conservative/non-surgical approach to the most challenging foot/ankle conditions.
The Richie Brace® is a custom AFO (ankle-foot-orthosis) designed to treat chronic conditions of the foot and ankle including:
PTTD | Adult-Acquired Flatfoot | Dropfoot | Chronic Ankle Instability | Paralysis and/or Weakness | Sprains
With a contoured balanced orthotic footplate articulated to adjustable semi-rigid lower leg uprights, the Richie Brace is ideally suited to stabilize rotational forces at the Midtarsal, Subtalar and Talo-Crural joints. Modifications and enhancements are available to add further restriction of motion in the sagittal, frontal or transverse plane.
FIT & COMFORT
The Richie Brace® is lighter than most other AFOs. The leg uprights are designed to leave the front and back leg areas open for air flow and comfort. Once the Richie Brace® is positioned and adjusted, the patient is hardly aware he/she has it on.
APPLICATION & REMOVAL
After initial adjustment of the three straps, daily application and removal of the Richie Brace® involves the simple opening and closing of just one strap. All of the straps of the Richie Brace can be easily and in-expensively replaced without the need for rivots or glues.
