AFO & Braces

The original Richie Brace® and the most widely prescribed design in the line. A custom balanced orthotic with semi-rigid uprights and anatomic hinge placement controls the subtalar, midtarsal, and first ray while allowing pure, unrestricted sagittal ankle motion.

Built for dropfoot. Tamarack flexural joints provide up to 15° of dorsiflexion assist through swing phase while preserving natural plantarflexion at heel strike — a smoother, more efficient gait than a rigid AFO, with full varus/valgus control.

For patients who need more than the Standard hinge provides. A rigid ankle articulation limits motion to under 5°, arresting deformity progression without disrupting smooth contact and heel rise. Order with the medial or lateral Arch Suspender® as indicated.

A traditional full-leg posterior shell built on a balanced functional footplate — rigid tibial control with the intrinsic forefoot and rearfoot correction Richie Brace® is known for. Extended padding accommodates plantar lesions.

Maximum restraint in a custom molded design. Adjustable leather closures cinch with a single continuous strap — no laces — while the patented Arch Suspender® self-adjusts to prevent medial/lateral instability. For stage IV PTTD, severe DJD, and fixed ankle deformity.

A custom molded AFO combining gauntlet-style total contact support with the patented Arch Suspender® for true hindfoot varus/valgus control. Non-weight bearing cast fabrication delivers superior heel and arch contour for advanced PTTD, severe DJD, and Charcot arthropathy.
