About The Apex ABS Hiker

The Apex ABS Hiker represents the next step in our revolutionary, scientific* approach to helping those at risk of falls live active, independent lifestyles. Based on the original Apex ABS, the ABS Hiker delivers all the same features but in a rugged, hiker style that is perfect for outdoor or casual wear. To help you reduce fall risk, the ABS Hiker contains a firm, adjustable heel counter to provide stability while being able to accommodate an AFO. In addition, a textured footbed provides proprioceptive sensory feedback, helping those with polyneuropathy get a better sense of how their feet are interacting with the ground. Finally, a hard rubber outsole boosts traction, ideal for spending time outdoors. Fall Risk and Footwear* There is a notable correlation between fall risk and footwear:

• Inappropriate footwear has been identified as a contributor of up to 45% of falls.
• A study of people who had suffered a fall-related hip fracture reported that 75% were wearing poor footwear at the time of injury.
• Appropriate footwear has been identified as a preventative measure in reducing fall risk.
• Footwear can improve balance.
• Textured footbed provides proprioceptive sensory feedback for polyneuropathy.
