TurboMed Xtern

The Turbomed Xtern AFO is a game changing solution for people with drop foot. The Xtern will allow running, walking, and hiking in the mountains as long and as far as you want without any discomfort.

This ankle foot orthosis (AFO), was tested in many conditions, during many marathons, triathlons, endurance activities and adventures in the wild Canadian backcountry. Unlike conventional drop foot products, it can be fit on hiking footwear, winter or safety boots, as well as everyday footwear and sandals.

This device controls drop foot and allows easy plantar flexion.

The Xtern is secured outside the shoe to maximize comfort and prevent skin breakdown and rubbing injuries to the foot.

It can be changed from one shoe to another in a few seconds.

DROP FOOT MADE SIMPLE

The TurboMed XTERN AFO is a revolutionary new treatment option for drop foot.

It’s unique patented design acts as an exoskeleton to the impaired limb and provides the user with unparalleled levels of function without discomfort or rubbing.

The XTERN is a custom build modular ankle foot orthosis (AFO) made from highly durable thermoplastic (breakage warranty for 2 years).

It attaches to the outside of footwear and is quickly and easily interchangeable from shoe to shoe.

Unlike many other AFO’s, the XTERN does not prevent ankle plantar flexion or limit dorsiflexion, making it easier and much more comfortable.
