Drop foot, neurological weakness or paralysis of the foot-lifting muscles, helps prevent lateral imbalance without restricting movement, improving ambulation.
Key Features & Benefits
Quick closure buckles helps to adjust and secure the tension of the elastic strap and foot flexion angle
Adjustable elastic strap with metal hook adapts to all shoe types with laces, buckles or eyelets
Optional foot cuff for barefoot use or swimming
Anatomical ankle cuff with two aluminium stays for improved support
Posterior foam pad for comfort on the Achilles Tendon area
Fits left or right foot
Dynamic
Supple textile structure (no hard components) promotes natural ambulation
No hindering of movements, unlike rigid AFOs
Allows the patient to have a natural and spontaneous walking pattern
Corrective Action
The elastic strap adjusts tension level and foot flexion angle, according to correction required
Maintaining the foot at a 90° angle helps compensate foot lifting muscles deficits
Lateral correction is also possible if the deficiency is more pronounced laterally
