VASYLI Medical Signature Series
Developed by the VASYLI Think Tank, a group of world-renowned authorities in lower-limb biomechanics, the VASYLI signature series addresses your patients’ most common problems.
VASYLI + DANANBERG
1ST RAY FUNCTION ORTHOTIC
The VASYLI + Howard Dananberg (VHD) orthotic is the world’s first professional orthotic device with removable 1st ray sections. You can remove proximal and distal plugs individually or together, as needed, making treatment of 1st ray function easier. To accommodate variations in the length of a patient’s foot and toes, you can remove the plugs when fitting the orthotic, ensuring the head of the first metatarsophalangeal joint (MPJ) coincides with the removed plug. In cases where maximum effect is required, such as with structural hallux limitus (SHL), you can remove both plugs. This enhances 1st ray function by offering a larger path of least resistance to the joint.
This orthotic is also heat moldable, allowing personalization of rear foot control. And you can choose from a selection of additions to fine-tune the orthotic for each patient. The flexibility of the VHD design allows for a wide combination of applications to address your patients’ tri-planar motion problems.
VASYLI + McPoil
SPORTS INJURY RECOVERY
The VASYLI + McPoil tissue stress relief prefabricated foot orthotic is the result of a collaboration between Phillip Vasyli and Prof. Thomas G. McPoil, PhD, PT, ATC. In 1995, together with Gary Hunt, Tom introduced the concept of load deformation curve, which became the basis of a tissue stress model.
The VASYLI + McPoil orthotic is based on a dual-density construction designed to allow for normal foot pronation but to prevent over pronation. Ideal for conditions of hypermobility or Achilles stress resulting from traumatic supination (sports injuries), the VASYLI + McPoil provides relief and enhances recovery. Tom has utilized this construction during decades of practice, treating a wide range of lower-limb biomechanical disorders in both athletes and non-athletes.

VASYLI + PRIOR
LOW-PROFILE SPORTS ORTHOTIC
The association between VASYLI Medical and Trevor Prior, a UK podiatric surgeon and sports podiatrist, goes back many years. When asked about any gaps in the availability of prefabricated orthotics, Trevor immediately suggested the need for a low-profile cleated sports footwear device.
It’s uniquely challenging to accommodate an orthotic device with this style of footwear. The lack of heel depth, tight glove-like fit, soft leather, and narrow and flat profile of the stud/cleat plate all contribute to a difficult environment in which to control the foot. Nonetheless, Trevor felt there was a need to provide a cost-effective alternative for recreational, amateur, and professional athletes.
By utilizing sophisticated in-shoe sensor technology to optimize design, Trevor created an orthotic profile that enhances fit and biomechanical performance. The VASYLI + Prior sports orthotic is an essential addition to the VASYLI Signature orthotic range.
VASYLI + HOKE
SUPINATION CONTROL FOOT ORTHOTIC
The VASYLI + Hoke prefabricated foot orthotic is the result of the collaboration between Phillip Vasyli and Brian Hoke DPT, SCS. The VASYLI + Hoke device is expressly designed for the control of the pes cavus foot type. Unlike an over pronator, a supinator will invariably have a more complex foot type, often with a combination of triplanar alignment issues.
