Why It Works
RYBO Function
The RYBO AFO helps circumferentially control the tri-plane motion of the subtalar joint and helps limit the sagittal plane motion of the tibia over the talus. The brace also limits future tendon degradation and lessons soft tissue irritation. Relief is also achieved by constraining the relationship of the calcaneus to the long axis of the tibia and fibula, limiting medial and lateral calcaneal movement. Medial collapse of the ankle is also restricted, increasing mobility and range of motion while reducing pain.
The Surgical Alternative
The RYBO AFO is ideal for maximum control of non-operative management of PTTD, Charcot, and numerous other prominent clinical indications. The RYBO AFO has become THE alternative to invasive surgery.
