I'm trying this again because there might have been some confusion as to
what I was looking for since I started getting many prosthetic responses.

 

I need to find and orthotic ankle joint that has an inversion / eversion
quality to the joint itself.

 

I'm not interested in depending on the plastic of the brace being flexible
enough to simulate movement.

I'm not interested in any rotary - A-P movement.

I'm not interested in the attachment points of the joint to the plastic
being flexible.

I'm not interested in a posterior joint such as with the PRAFOs, to set in
inversion / eversion.

 

I am looking for a joint that has a deliberate, dynamic inversion / eversion
quality to the joint, at the joint center. I want to place this joint at
congruent medial and lateral ankle joint alignment locations.

 

I'm told this exists.

 

Thanks to all in advance.
