Heel stops hold the heel back against the foot plate so the client does not creep forward out of position during a stand. They are worth adding for any client who plantarflexes, pushes through the toes, or gradually slides out of alignment across a longer session.
The set includes left and right units and mounts to the foot plates already on the frame. Once set, the position stays put, so the client starts each stand from the same base and you get a consistent load through the legs.
Two sizes cover the range, and they fit both the Caribou and the Rabbit Up. Fit them with the client’s usual footwear or orthoses on, because an AFO changes where the heel actually sits.
