Problem
Individuals with drop foot rely on ankle‑foot orthoses (AFOs) to restore gait, but conventional off‑the‑shelf devices often lack a functional fit, leading to suboptimal biomechanics and low patient adherence.
Solution
Rezolve Medical delivers functionally personalized AFOs that are digitally designed and 3‑D printed to match each patient’s anatomy and gait requirements. By integrating biomechanics research from Amsterdam UMC and TU Delft, the device—named Rise—optimizes plantar‑flexion support and promotes a more natural walking pattern. The design workflow incorporates patient‑driven input from innovation bootcamps, ensuring the brace addresses real‑world usability concerns. All products are manufactured under a quality‑managed system that complies with ISO 13485, ISO 14971, and the EU Medical Devices Regulation, providing clinicians with a regulatory‑ready solution that can be prescribed and delivered quickly.
Target Audience
Primary customers are orthopedic surgeons, prosthetists, and rehabilitation clinics that prescribe AFOs for patients with drop foot, as well as hospital networks seeking compliant, customized orthotic solutions.
