Orthotic Materials- High Impact/ Sports

Poron XDR is a foam used in many commercial products including sports clothing. And now, due to its impact absorption qualities, it is also used as an orthotic material.

Poron XRD is an open cell urethane foam. This means that is soft to the touch, light weight and flexible. But on high impact, its molecules stiffen up to provide protection from impact damage. This also makes it resistant to deformation. That is why, at the Sussex Movement Clinic we use Poron XRD as an orthotic material, to reduce the risk of foot injuries especially for high impact and sports related activities.
