A brace you love to wear
More than two years of research, design, and engineering resulted in a range of custom AFOs that are truly special. A super-precise fit, a feather-light material, all fitting in most of your favorite shoes.

How it works
Light as a feather
Manometric's engineering resulted in the lightest custom AFOs yet. This means that you can do more, go farther, and enjoy activities more. Do the things you love again.
Wear your favorite shoes
The AFO fits in most shoes because of the sub-millimeter precise 3D fitting and razor-thin design. This means that in most cases, custom shoes are unnecessary.
How we do it
Precision when it matters most
We use our proprietary ManoX 3D Leg Scanner to capture your leg in meticulous detail. Afterwards, our software ensures that the AFO will fit and support just right.
A beautiful new material
Together with engineering experts who have worked with F1 McLaren, we developed a revolutionary composite material that is more tailored to the human body and pushes the limits of strength and weight.

Please contact us. We will ask you to share a photo of the defect, which helps us determine the best solution.
How long should I wear my splint?

Frequently asked questions
How does the first appointment go?
During your first appointment, we will talk with you about your (pain) complaints, your daily life, and your wishes regarding the device. We will then discuss the available options with you. In most cases, you can also choose the color of the material.
During the first appointment, we also take measurements. We do this with our ManoX Leg scanner, which creates a 3D model of your foot and leg.
At this appointment, we also check your referral and your right to reimbursement. We will discuss the next steps and, in most cases, schedule a follow-up appointment right away to collect your orthosis.
