Product Highlight- Moore Balance Brace

Did You Know…

» Over 14 million American adults aged 65 and older experience a fall each year.
» Every 15 seconds, an older adult is seen in an emergency room for a fall-related injury.
» In 2010, such falls resulted in direct costs to the US healthcare system of over $30 billion dollars.
» More than 20,000 of those falls resulted in death

These are statistics that make us terribly sad and we at Da Vinci Foot and Ankle are committed to pursuing the integrity and well-being of our older patients. Furthermore, our board certified Doctors have specifically chosen the Moore Balance Brace as an integral part of our product inventory.

• Stabilizes the foot in the presence of weakness and fatigue
• Provides ankle support, improving balance and helps avoid falls by reducing postural sway
• Improves foot clearance reducing the risk of tripping
• Is easy to put on and remove
• Exceptionally light-weight and comfortable

How Does it Work?

The custom orthosis provides arch support and midfoot stability while allowing the forefoot & toes to be anchored for increased balance. The Moore Balance Brace is to be used as a maintenance mechanism in conjunction with proper care and a comprehensive protocol. This may include physical and occupational therapy, strength training, medication review, annual foot exams and footwear evaluations.
