Description
The Heel Offloading Orthosis by Dr. Settner/OMM Münch – 28F10 was developed for targeted follow-up treatment after calcaneal fractures and helps you regain mobility safely and sooner. Its unique “floating heel” principle consistently offloads the heel bone without unnecessarily making walking more difficult. Ideal for patients seeking a gait pattern that is as physiological as possible and everyday comfort after an injury or surgery.
The Heel Offloading Orthosis by Dr. Settner/OMM Münch – 28F10 is designed primarily to offload the heel: the heel bone “floats” above the sole section and only makes light contact with a cushioning pad. This protects pain-sensitive structures while allowing you to gradually return to weight-bearing in a controlled manner. The cushioning and progressive-loading pads gradually reintroduce the heel bone to weight-bearing—an important benefit if you need reliable support after a unilateral or bilateral calcaneal fracture or arthrodesis of the subtalar joint.
Thanks to its proprioceptive effect, the Heel Offloading Orthosis by Dr. Settner/OMM Münch – 28F10 can support bone healing and help prevent bone demineralization. At the same time, the physiological rocker sole promotes a largely natural gait pattern, making everyday activities easier and supporting early mobilization. Its sporty, modern shoe design, comfortable cushioning on heel strike provided by the heel strike pad, and suitability for either foot make this orthosis a practical solution for therapy and rehabilitation.
