For orthotists and doctors
The Rise is a dynamic custom ankle-foot orthosis for people with drop foot (dorsiflexor paresis, MRC 0–4). Every Rise is custom designed per patient from a 3D scan. It is MJF 3D-printed in high-grade PA12 nylon and always prescribed together with a licensed orthotist.
Are you an orthotist and curious about the Rise? Get in touch; we are happy to come by for a demonstration.

How do I become a partner?
Get in touch and we schedule a demonstration, with or without a patient. If you like what you see, we explain how ordering works.
