Charcot Foot is a very serious condition typically of the foot and ankle in which fractures & Dislocations occur and relies on quick diagnosis to reduce risk of deformity, ulceration and ultimatly amputation.   Biodesign Prosthetics & Orthotics are experts in the Design and fabrication of C.R.O.W Boots (Charcot Resistant Orthotic Walker).   If you have been diagnosed by a Physician with Charcot foot and a brace or air cast walker has been prescribed contact us to help you protect your foot and regain mobility.   Charcot foot is a very serious condition requiring immediate attention. Please do not hesitate to meet with us for our opinion at one of our Locations.

Things to watch for in Diabetic Neuropathic Foot & Ankle.

1. Sudden Swelling of the foot and Ankle,  can be associated with or with out an injury (possible rolling of the ankle or simply just walking or going down stairs.)

2. Increase in temperature of the foot and ankle (warm to touch)

3. Sudden drop in the arch of the foot

4. Change in the foot and or ankle shape

5. Pain or soreness (but in severe neuropathy this may not be felt)

Again if you suspect Charcot foot, stay off your foot and contact your physician or diabetic specialist immediately, continuing to walk on your foot even with out the presence of pain you could be causing serious harm.

“The BiOM T2 System provides Bionic Propulsion, a breakthrough technology that will help you achieve your goals and improve your mobility. This unique ankle technology actually powers movement and produces a more natural gait. Since all other commercially-available ankle devices do not provide natural Bionic Propulsion during the walking stance phase (when the foot is in contact with the ground) significant gait deviations occur. For the first time in prosthetic history Bionic Propulsion energizes a person’s gait, providing programmable ankle stiffness modulation and power assist. By replacing lost muscle function, Bionic Propulsion improves your mobility – to have the stamina to walk greater distances…faster. It’s designed to make you feel safer and more stable on stairs, ramps and uneven terrain – to do the things you want to do…without thinking about your mobility.

The BiOM T2 System is bionic; unlike any other commercially available ankle device.  The BiOM replaces the function of your lost muscle and tendon anatomy, stiffening and powering your prosthetic ankle in a manner directly comparable to what muscles normally do in the biological leg.  You can now walk with a more natural gait than you would with any other prosthesis, allowing you to live more independently, return to work, and live life with greater enjoyment and ease”.
