The Dyna-Lock
The Dyna-Lock Dynamic Ankle Joint is a unique design incorporating the patent pending one way pressure activated locking mechanism. This mechanism allows the patient to easily don the orthosis while positioned in plantar flexion. Once activator strap is fastened the ankle joint will lock into any desired dorsi-flexion position, while not allowing the patient to go back into plantar flexion. The joint will allow for more dorsi-flexion, but will not allow additional plantar flexion.
This ankle joint allows dynamic management of plantar flexion contractures in weight bearing and non-weight bearing devices. It also allows progressive management of plantar flexion contractures throughout the therapy rehab process. Accommodating progressive dorsi-flexion position as patient’s range increases.
Indications & Uses:
- Post CVA

Custom Dyna-Lock Night Stretch AFO
The Dyna-Lock Night Stretch AFO maximizes muscle length by incrementally stretching the muscle fibers in a low load fashion. This is achieved through the unique design of the AFO combined with the features the Dyna-Lock Ankle Joint. The design of the AFO properly maintains neutral alignment of the heel, mid-foot, and forefoot so concentration of the stretch is achieved on the muscle.
This design also provides ease of donning and do ng no matter the degree of tone or plantar exion contracture. This is achieved though the Dyna-Lock Ankle Joint allowing the brace to be applied in a full plantar- exed position. This design also allows for incremental dorsi- exion position through the one way ratchet mechanism of the Dyna-Lock Ankle Joint.
