A specialist Momentum clinic runs weekly in Sheffield where we conduct the assessment, cast and check socket fitting on the same day with a further appointment required to fit and supply the brace only 2 weeks later.
We can also treat patients in our London and Basingstoke clinics however 3 separate appointments will be required at these locations. Due to the nature of the carbon fibre material used, we may be able to conduct the initial cast and assessment appointment in other clinics if required.
- Dedicated fortnightly clinics with specially trained orthotists and physiotherapists.
- Purpose-built on-site pre-preg carbon fibre manufacturing facilities.
- Fast track service with assessment, cast and diagnostic Momentum fitting at first appointment and brace supplied at the next appointment – 2-week turnaround time and only 2 appointments required from assessment to supply of brace.
- Bespoke physiotherapy packages are available to achieve long term rehab goals and improved outcomes from walking pain free through to returning to running and an active lifestyle.
Rehabilitation
As the Momentum Brace stabilises the ankle in a fixed position it means that you will need to learn to walk and run slightly differently. For best results, we recommend that tailored, intensive rehabilitation is undertaken. Evidence suggests that outcomes are 30% better when combined with a tailored rehab programme.
We work alongside physiotherapists experienced in working with Momentum to offer rehabilitation packages that ensure you learn to walk and run again in the most efficient way. This can also help to identify other areas of muscle imbalance and provide general strength and conditioning work to make sure you achieve the best functional outcome at the end of your rehabilitation.
Momentum
Momentum® is an innovative custom carbon fibre Ankle Foot Orthosis (AFO). Designed to partially offload the foot and ankle to relieve pressure and pain following complex lower limb injury. The unique design and carbon fibre construction is lightweight yet strong, making the brace ideal for both daily use and high impact activities.
