GAITSOLUTION Design
GS has realized ease in the ability of the wearer to wear and remove the problem restricting wearable shoes by enhancing the design in addition to superior function as a walking aid equipped with GS.
①Titanium frame
The adoption of lightweight and durable titanium for the frame has realized lightness and strength. Since deformation does not appear in the orthosis itself and in the case with conventional plastic orthoses, the force exerted by a hydraulic damper can be transmitted directly to the lower limb.

②Rear entry
The wearer can wear the orthosis without raising a foot by tilting the frame forward and inserting his or her foot from the rear of the orthosis. Since it is engineered to prevent the frame from tilting forward, it is easy to install belts with one hand.

③Small foot-ankle assembly
By keeping the shape of the foot-ankle assembly to a minimum, the wearer can wear various shoes on top of the orthoses. The need for selecting one-size larger shoes, as was the case with conventional orthoses, has been eliminated.

④Use of water dispersion pads
By using water dispersion pads which offer superior breathability in the parts contacting the body, the wearer can obtain a comfortable wear feel. The crural area belt can be cut according to the shape of the lower limb and used as it is.

⑤Small hydraulic damper
A small hydraulic damper built into the ankle joint applies the brake to the movement of plantar flexion by producing a braking force in response to the ankle movement while walking. The strength of the braking force can be adjusted by turning a screw on top of the damper. When adjusting the strength, refer to the scales on top of the damper. A scale of “1” indicates the weakest condition while “4” indicates the strongest condition. Since the strength can continuously be adjusted, it can be adjusted to 1.8, 2.5 or other scale adjustments. Select an appropriate strength while observing the gait of the wearer. The brake applied to the plantar flexion promotes weight bearing on the plegic side with impact absorption, which realizes smooth walking.

⑥Ankle angle adjustment mechanism
The angle at which a braking fore of the hydraulic damper starts to be effective can be adjusted by replacing an ankle joint part. This angle corresponds to the intial ankle angle using conventional orthoses. The angle is normally set at the neutral position (0 degree). In addition to this, a part with dorsiflexion of 5 degrees has been prepared.

⑦Three color variations
GSD has the three color variations : the Standard type of quite color arrangement(Beige), the Urban type of sophisticated color arrangement(Black/white), and the Sport type of active color arrangement(Orange/Black).
