Foot Drop Brace for Ankle Support

This ankle foot orthosis (AFO) brace is designed to address foot drop and improve ankle stability. It’s highly recommended for individuals experiencing a dropped foot, particularly when there’s insufficient dorsiflexion. This condition can arise from various neurological and physical issues, including:

• Post-Stroke Complications: Recovering from a stroke can affect muscle control, leading to foot drop.
• Spinal Cord Injuries: Damage to the spinal cord can disrupt nerve signals to the leg and foot.
• Herniated Lumbar Discs: A slipped disc in the lower back can compress nerves affecting foot movement.
• Leg Injuries: Trauma to the shin muscles or tendons can impair their function.
• Degenerative Foot and Ankle Conditions: Age-related or disease-related changes can weaken muscles and affect foot posture.
• Nerve Disorders: Conditions affecting major nerves can result in muscle weakness and foot drop.
• Post-Surgery Recovery: Following hip replacement or knee ligament surgery, temporary or persistent foot drop can occur.

The brace is conveniently shaped like a slipper or sock, making it ideal for comfortable home wear without shoes. It’s also beneficial during sleep for managing plantar fasciitis (heel spurs).

Key Features:

• Ease of Use: Comfortable and simple to apply and adjust.
• Breathable Fabric: Crafted from breathable materials for all-day comfort.
• Secure Fastening: Equipped with adjustable Velcro straps for a personalized fit.
• Home-Friendly Design: Perfect for wearing around the house, even without shoes.
• Anti-Slip Sole: Features a textured, soft sole to reduce the risk of slipping and falling.
• Universal Fit: The elastic fabric accommodates most adult foot sizes.
• Easy Maintenance: The material is simple to clean.

Indications:

• Foot Drop
• Plantar Fasciitis (Heel Spurs)
