Effortless Variable Support –
The 17M1/M2 Ankle Joints

• Suitable for children and adults
• Versatile application
• Easy to process
• Low maintenance

The ankle joints for thermoplastic lower leg orthoses offer you many options for fabricating light, functional orthoses for children and adults. Whether you need a free-moving ankle joint for movement guidance or ankle joints that offer the option of controlling and supporting movements: These joints give you a real advantage for fitting multiple indications.

The 17M1 and 17M2 are particularly easy to fabricate while also offering real functionality, and your patients will profit from the fixing, supporting or correcting effects they offer.

The 17M1 dual-function ankle joint with stop pins and springs is used to limit and support plantar flexion and dorsal extension. For example, it can be used in cases of peroneal paralysis and ICP. In cases such as pronounced bone instability, the 17M2 free-moving ankle joint is indicated. The maintenance-free, supported joints are not restricted in the a/p direction and are stable in the m/l direction.
