Characteristics:

The Boxia Plus allow patients to be autonomous and independent because of the new semi-automatic, one-handed closing system so they can enjoy a better quality of life in their day-to-day activities.

• One supramalleolar part made of micro-perforated breathable fabric that wraps around the ankle.  It features a pad in the back that hugs the Achilles tendon, provides maximum comfort and distributes pressure.  There are also relief points offering a massage effect on the soft parts.  The central anchoring system can be adjusted to the ankle perimeter to guarantee the most adequate position for each patient. 
• An elastic traction band keeps the ankle in a neutral position and connects the supramalleolar part to the “S” hooks, or the hook to the footwear.
• The anti-slip hook attached to the footwear and a strap that is secured to the laces prevents undesirable movement.
• Four pairs of “S” hooks for greater stability and varum-valgum foot control.

 

Benefits:

• Keeps the ankle in a functional position to prevent foot collapse;
• Enables a more natural and efficient walking pattern

 

Indications:

• Weakness or inability to dorsiflex the ankle (clubfoot) as a result of neurological injuries, congenital alterations or muscular disorders.
• Flaccid paralysis associated with hemiparesis.
