Foot Drop Brace AS-SD M (Right)

AS-SD M Right Foot Drop Brace

Product Description

The AS-SD M Right Foot Drop Brace is a high-quality orthosis designed to provide effective support and stabilization for individuals experiencing foot drop. This condition, characterized by the inability to lift the front of the foot, can result from various neurological conditions such as stroke, nerve damage (neuritis), spinal cord injuries (tumors, trauma), cerebral palsy, and more. The brace also proves beneficial for individuals with chronic ankle instability (where surgery is contraindicated), recovering from ankle ligament injuries or surgeries (ligament reconstruction, arthroplasty), and can be used as a night splint.

Key Features & Benefits

• Customizable Thermoplastic Shaping: The upper portion of the brace can be molded using heat (max 90°C) to achieve a perfect, personalized fit. (Remember to remove all fasteners before heating.)
• Anti-Slip Enhancement: Includes an anti-slip element for added stability and security. Instructions for proper application are included.
• Adjustable Sizing: The brace can be trimmed to precisely match the length of your foot.
• Effective Foot Drop Management: Provides passive restriction of plantar flexion, keeping the foot and toes in the correct position during gait. This helps restore a natural walking pattern.
• Durable and Comfortable: Constructed from high-quality, breathable materials for all-day comfort.

• Foot drop syndrome (following stroke, neuritis, spinal cord injuries, spinal tumors, cerebral palsy, etc.)
