Malleo TriStep®

• Innovative therapy concept with a systematic, phase-adapted treatment approach
• Phase adaptation offers optimal continuous treatment in three healing phases
• Developed in cooperation with the "Clinical Excellence Circle" group of experts
• Addition and removal of the functional and stabilizing elements allows for individual adaptation and adjustment at any time during the therapy 
• Efficient support of the healing process through the Malleo Move training program developed by Dr. Gösele (Crossclinic Basel)

Current numbers indicate that about 10,000 people in Germany alone are affected by an ankle injury each day. These result in strain trauma, partial rupture, or rupture in the capsule-ligament apparatus of the upper ankle. 30% of all patients suffer a recurrent injury within 3 years. For active athletes, this figure is as high as 73%. It has been scientifically proven that chronic complaints occur independently of the severity of the original ankle injury. Even 7 to 8 years after an ankle injury, up to 32 % of patients still suffer from pain in the ankle region.
This demonstrates that the current treatments are suboptimal. In order to counter these risks, Otto Bock developed an absolutely unique treatment approach – the Malleo TriStep® - in conjunction with the " Clinical Excellence Circle", a group of experts including doctors, therapists, orthopaedic technicians, biomechanics, and engineers.

The high degree of wearer comfort is attained mostly through an auto-adaptive foam insert. Thanks to this design, the Malleo TriStep® adjusts optimally to the given anatomy. Special slits in the lateral stabilising elements in the area of the malleoli prevent unhealthful pressure sensations.

In addition, the Malleo TriStep® is easy to handle. The functional and stabilising elements can be added or removed in a few easy steps without the use of tools. On the one hand, the hook-and-loop closures offer custom attachment and adjustment possibilities, since all of them are adjustable in length. On the other hand, the adjustability of the hook-and-loop closure allows for the orthosis to be opened fully, making it easy to put on.
