Orthomerica® Introduces New Innovative TC Flex™ AFO Designs and Features


Orthomerica is pleased to introduce the new and improved TC Flex™ AFO System. TC Flex is a uniquely progressive orthotic management system for children and adults with neuromuscular, sensorimotor, orthopaedic and physical challenges.  These custom molded orthoses are designed to stabilize the structures of the foot and ankle complex to enable the patient to utilize current and potential muscle capabilities. 

TC Flex designs are made from thin and flexible thermoplastic materials, allowing the patient to receive proprioceptive feedback through total contact foot plate modifications.  The midline stability provided by the orthoses helps guide the lower extremities into more normalized alignment.  Activities performed in distally aligned positions trigger active motor learning and facilitate more normalized proximal modeling of bony structures and more balanced muscle groups.  The combination of midline stability and simplification of motor tasks through precise orthotic intervention creates a context for the patient to upgrade ambulation and functional skills.

TC Flex Offers:
15 progressive designs to provide finely tuned orthotic intervention
Extremely thin and consistent mid-foot flexibility
Brightly colored, malleoli/hind foot padding and removable toe rise pads
Precisely contoured total contact orthoses
Reliable 4-day turn around—every time
Flexibility to use any footplate system or a well-formed free-hand impression without a footplate
   
Recommended for children and adults who can benefit from:
Enhanced sensory and proprioceptive feedback
Precise foot and ankle control to maximize function
Midline stability and simplification of motor tasks
Increased opportunity to use appropriate muscle groups while blocking undesirable motion
Alignment and mobility that allow more normalized acquisition of motor skills
