 is a custom ankle brace (ankle foot orthosis)
designed to treat chronic conditions of the foot and ankle. Introduced to
the medical community in 1996, The Richie Brace® has revolutionized the
non-operative approach to the most challenging pathologies treated by the foot
and ankle specialist.
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.
The Richie Brace® is fabricated from an impression cast taken of the patient's
foot and lower leg.
It's
lightweight, low-profile design is preferred by patients over traditional longer
leg solid shell ankle foot orthoses.
