GAITSOLUTION Design R1

Innovative Ankle Foot Orthosis with an oil damper

GAITSOLUTION Design R1 (GSD-R1) is an orthosis developed by “pursuing natural walking”. It is endowed with the functions required for ankle foot orthoses, which have been derived from the results of gait analysis of a total of more than 100 patients with hemiplegia.

GSD-R1 has realized ease in the ability of the wearer to wear and remove the problem restricting wearable shoes by enhancing the design in addition to superior function as a walking aid equipped with Gait Solution.

A hydraulic shok sbsorption system adopted to ease difficulties in walking

The shock absorber was chosen based on the latest walking analysis. The hydraulic braking system can be set to each individual's optimal plantar flexion resistance. In addition, the strong and light-weight titanium frame assists the calf muscle and offers an increase in walking efficiency.

Compatible with many shoes and orthosis

Careful consideration was taken into ensuring a proper heel height, designing the foot-ankle assembly shape, and arranging the rubberized pads on the foot plate to attain the greatest level of customer satisfaction. Also, this Gait Solution orthosis utilizes a rea entry method allowing patients' use without lifting the foot.

Aesthetically pleasing and exceptionally comfortable

The unit is comfortable to wear because of the moisture decentralization pads used for the parts touching the skin.
