BlueROCKER^® 2½

The Foot Drop Orthosis BlueROCKER^® 2 ½ has the same dynamic functions and stability as a BlueROCKER^® 2.0 with the exception that the 2 ½ has a lower heel height, 7 mm, to adapt to modern shoes. The toe lift is also slightly lower which results in more space in the toe box. Since the start in 1997 the Allard AFO has been the market leader with its unique functions and dynamic properties.
BlueROCKER^® 2 ½ has all MikroFIX pre-applied to simply fitment of the padding. The strap solution is the same as on 2.0, made from a durable and strong material. The straps can be applied for either inside or outside closure on the orthosis. The foot plate on BlueROCKER^® 2 ½ gives more space in the toebox. It is always important to adapt any Allard AFO to the heel height of the shoe. Read more about this in the Allard AFO Professional Instructions.

Recommended Range Of Application

BlueROCKER^® is designed to manage footdrop in conditions such as Stroke, Multiple Sclerosis, Post Polio Syndrome, Muscular Dystrophy, Spinal Cord Injuries, Traumatic Brain Injuries, Guillian-Barre Syndrome, Charcot-Marie-Tooth, Myelomeningocele, Neuropathy or Cerebral Palsy.

Contraindications

Preliminary research suggests the use of a kinetic return ankle foot orthosis is associated with small but significant shortterm increases in calf circumference, which in turn suggests this type of device might reduce or protect against the risk of disuse muscle atrophy.
