The Richie Achilles Offloading System is a carbon-fiber, ankle foot orthosis (AFO) that controls both ankle joint dorsiflexion and the load on the Achilles tendon. The custom functional foot orthotic controls rearfoot pronation and the patented Richie ArchLock™, provides lateral offloading of the medial-central band of the plantar fascia.
