The Ypsilon® Flow is an ankle and foot orthosis. With a lower heel height, this brace accommodates contours of shoe insoles and gives more clearance for the forefoot in the toe cavity of the shoe. It is designed to give enhanced range of motion and dynamic toe-off assist, preventing and reducing atrophy by allowing muscles, tendons, and ligaments to strengthen.

The Ypsilon® Flow has also been engineered to eliminate pressure of the tibia crest. The footplate has been designed to move with the lower leg and provide less resistance to ground reaction forces.

This foot and ankle orthosis is smooth and thin, and has an interface pad with a strap close to the leg making the brace barely noticeable under pants.
