Description
DAW Achilles Wedges consist of 3 wedges in different lengths. A wedge has a height of approx. 11 mm. Depending on the number of wedges used, the height varies and the angle of plantar flexion can, thus, be adjusted individually. 3 wedges correspond to a slant of approx. 120°. The wedges are placed on top of each other according to the foot length and the desired angle of plantar flexion and fixed to the heel area of the walker using adhesive dots. Depending on the therapy course, the wedges can be removed step by step and, thus, the height adjusted. The wedges are available in one universal size and can, therefore, be used universally for all sizes of walker. They can be used on the right and left.
