Jump Start^® Softback

AFO trimline, PF resist, DF free

The JumpStart Softback is a prefabricated AFO providing comfortable control of moderate toe walking and knee hyperextension. The Softback's posterior pad and strap combination work together to resist excess plantarflexion beyond 2 degrees, while encouraging increased dorsiflexion. It is also good for idiopathic, or sensory seeking toe walking where the child may not tolerate a larger Kangaroo orthosis on the limb.

Key Features

• Soft yet durable padding sewn to flexible Dacron strap
  strongly resists excess PF and encourages free DF.
• Dacron strap attaches to outer frame
  for durability.
• Full wrap inner liner
  provides alignment control of the heel, midfoot, and forefoot..
• Inner liner tucks behind the padding
  for added comfort.
• Solid outer foundation
  provides additional support and heel stabilisation.

• Exhibit a fully correctable foot position and fit within the product size range.
• Demonstrate mild to moderate excess plantarflexion presented as toe-walking or knee hyperextension.
• Require some resistance to plantarflexion.
