Discover the Benefits of the New Turbomed XTERN Classic+

Orthotic devices are always improving, and the latest addition to the Turbomed range reflects this commitment to better design. The XTERN CLASSIC+, replaces the original Turbomed XTERN Classic.

Alongside the XTERN Frontier and XTERN Summit models, the XTERN Classic+ is crafted to boost comfort and usability for anyone looking for effective solutions for Foot Drop. It incorporates the latest MonoCore technology which provide an exceptional sleek discreet design, improved lightweight and lower profile better suited for modern shoes.

In this article, we will dive into the advantages of the XTERN Classic+ and highlight how its modern more streamlined design can positively impact your day-to-day life.

The Importance of Comfort in Footwear

Comfort is vital in any shoe, especially for those with foot issues. Many people need shoes that fit well and provide the proper support they require.

The full Turbomed range addresses this need with a thoughtful design that fits externally on your own footwear, unlike other in-shoe Ankle Foot Orthoses (AFO) designs which take up a lot of space within the shoe, and often means you have to buy over sized shoes, or even split sizes.

The XTERN Classic+ along with the rest of the Turbomed family is affixed totally outside the shoe to maximize comfort and prevent skin breakdown, rubbing injuries to the foot. It can be fit on any shoes, high hiking footwear, winter or safety boots & can be changed from shoe to another in a few seconds.

Made to Withstand High Impact Outdoor Activity

The XTERN Classic+ has a unique Exoskeleton Spring design, which is fully flexible and dynamic. It will allow running, walking, hiking in the mountains as long and as far as you want without any discomfort.

This ankle foot orthosis (AFO), was tested in many conditions, during many marathons, triathlons, endurance activities and adventures in the wild Canadian backcountry.

This device controls Foot Drop and allow easy plantar flexion in order to keep maximal ankle range of motion and calf muscle strength.

Versatility Across Different Models

While the XTERN Classic+ upgrades make it more streamlined and lighter weight, the XTERN Frontier and XTERN Summit models bring unique features tailored to different needs.

A standout feature now available on the XTERN Frontier model is its magnetic calf fastening, allowing easy one-handed application.

The XTERN Frontier model is also great for those who have poor mobility, difficultly bending and getting shoes on, and those with impaired upper limb use. The XTERN Frontier takes a frontal approach to leg support that leaves the back of the shoe opening fully accessible for easy donning.

This is especially helpful for clients with reduced dexterity or mobility of the hands, such as stroke patients. These details make the XTERN Frontier a strong AFO that doesn’t compromise on comfort or support.

Enhanced Stability and Support

Stability is crucial, especially for individuals with foot conditions. The XTERN Classic+ promotes excellent support through its inherently stable design, but if more support is required due to ankle instability, an additional ankle strap accessory can also be added.

Alternatively, the XTERN Summit model is designed to be 15% lighter and 35% more medio-lateral stability ( side to side) than the Original XTERN. It also boasts a 3 year warranty on plastic and carbon fibre parts.
