First of all, it significantly improves the quality of the patient's daily functioning. It is light and its shape allows you to move more freely. The interior of the orthosis is insulated from its structural elements with a soft filling. Thanks to this, it does not hurt or causes abrasions when worn.
The possibility of removing it and putting it back on again makes it easy for the patient to keep the injured leg in proper hygiene.
