TurboMed Orthotics
If you are tired of the limitations of traditional plastic braces that go inside your shoe, TurboMed is the answer. Designed for those who refuse to let foot drop slow them down, the TurboMed orthotics system, including the Xtern and Frontier models is the most versatile dynamic strut AFO on the market today. Unlike conventional foot drop braces, it can be used with high hiking footwear, winter footwear and safety boots.
Revolutionary Design
The TurboMed attaches to the outside of your footwear. This makes it a superior choice for patients who find orthopedic shoes or standard braces uncomfortable.
Dynamic Performance: Much like a pde strut AFO, it uses high-tension carbon fiber or specialised polymers to provide a powerful spring to your step.
Versatile Fit: Swap it between your trainers, work boots, and even hiking shoes in seconds.
