Foot Orthosis and Ankle Orthosis Munich
One of our most important joints is our ankle, which is extremely complex with its multitude of bones and ligaments. It is stressed with every step in everyday life, and sports such as jogging or jumping can put multiple times one’s own body weight on the ankle. Consequently, the risk of injury is also unfortunately high.
The most common injuries are an overload of the ankle or even ligament tears. Even minor accidents like twisting the ankle can be extremely painful. The foot orthoses from ergonomic care help you on the path to recovery and actively support the healing process.

If you have not found a specific product here, feel free to ask in our store. If a desired foot orthosis or ankle orthosis is not in stock, we are happy to organize it as quickly as possible, or offer an equivalent alternative.
Individually manufactured foot orthosis and ankle orthosis
If prefabricated foot orthoses and ankle orthoses no longer provide adequate care, custom-made orthoses are used. Reasons for this can include severe misalignments or special fitting needs. Also, corrective orthoses in the field of pediatrics, i.e., child and adolescent medicine, are mostly made to order. To protect joints previously stressed by sports, such as handball, a custom-made orthosis can be the perfect protection against injuries.
The development and production of orthoses is one of the focal points of orthopedic technology at ergonomic care Munich. We specialize in growth-appropriate care for children and adolescents, as well as the production of individual and everyday aids for adults. Through the use of state-of-the-art materials, such as carbon fiber in cast resin technology, we can achieve optimal stability and wearing comfort even with reduced weight of the orthosis. In addition, we manufacture the orthosis according to your color and design preferences.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why are ergonomic care foot orthoses and ankle orthoses the right choice?
We at ergonomic care have over 20 years of experience in the health industry. This experience in proven manufacturing methods meets a modern workshop and refined techniques at our location. Furthermore, from consultation, analysis, recommendations, adjustments to care, we offer everything from a single source.
For this reason, we can guarantee you the highest wearing comfort and functionality with our orthoses.
What does a foot orthosis do?
A foot orthosis corrects or relieves the ankle. By providing targeted guidance and stabilization, it maintains the muscles, ligaments, and joints in their corrected position, thus alleviating pain. A foot orthosis can be used for chronic or acute pain and misalignments, as well as for compensating for the loss of a muscle group in case of a stroke. It also prevents chronic pain.
What is a foot drop orthosis?
The foot drop orthosis compensates for the loss of a muscle group with the help of a joint. This prevents a pathological
How long should a foot orthosis be worn?
It is not possible to determine the exact wearing time of the foot orthosis in advance. In the case of acute injuries such as a ligament tear, the foot orthosis can be removed after the healing process. In the case of chronic diseases, the orthosis must continue to be worn as the misalignment or paralysis persists. This decision will, of course, be made together with your treating doctor and physiotherapist.
Can my general practitioner prescribe a foot orthosis and ankle orthosis?
Any contract doctor may prescribe medical aids at the expense of the statutory health insurance, whether a general practitioner or specialist.
Is a foot orthosis and ankle orthosis covered by health insurance?
In most cases, the costs for an orthosis are covered by health insurance; you only need to contribute the statutory co-payment. The insurance coverage usually refers to the standard care. Therefore, you should go to a medical supply store with the prescription issued by the doctor and get detailed advice on the care.
Who is the lower leg-foot orthosis suitable for?
It is particularly suitable for spastic paralyses, but also in connection with other neurological disorders that affect the entire foot (including the pathological clawing of the toes), leading to significant functional impairments.
If it is a dynamic, i.e., manually correctable misalignment, there is the possibility of orthopedic care with a dynamic ankle orthosis.
Foot orthosis and ankle orthosis made of plastic or carbon?
Carbon is characterized by its high strength at relatively low weight, allowing us to produce very light foot orthoses. However, the downside is that carbon cannot be reshaped afterwards. This is where plastic comes in. The big advantage of plastic is that it is thermoplastically deformable. However, it is not as stable as carbon. As you can see, it is not easy to determine beforehand which material is most suitable for you. That’s why we discuss each care extensively with you together.
What does AFO and DAFO mean?
The acronyms are derived from the international classification of orthoses. AFO stands for Ankle Foot Orthosis, whereas DAFO means Dynamic Ankle Foot Orthosis.
Thus, on the one hand, an AFO mostly keeps the ankle joint in correction without movement, and on the other hand, a DAFO allows movement, for example, by means of a joint in the ankle.
