Title: Left Ankle Foot Orthosis (AFO) for Foot Drop, Paralysis & Hemiplegia
Description:
This innovative ankle foot orthosis (AFO) provides superior support and correction for foot drop, improving gait and daily mobility. Designed for comfort and ease of use, this lightweight, half-foot orthosis easily fits inside most shoes for discreet, all-day wear. Ideal for patients experiencing foot drop due to paralysis (including paraplegia and hemiplegia), peripheral nerve damage (sciatic and peroneal nerve), or other conditions causing insufficient dorsiflexion. The AFO helps prevent secondary injuries and protects peripheral nerves by supporting the foot’s natural arch and preventing dragging. Features include:
- Lightweight & Discreet Design: Fits easily inside shoes for comfortable everyday use.
- Simple & Secure Fastening: Quick-release buckles ensure easy application and adjustment.
- Customizable Fit: Adjustable straps provide a personalized fit and compression level.
- Soft, Breathable Material: Reduces pressure points and enhances comfort. Open heel design promotes breathability and ease of use with footwear.
- Durable Construction: Made from high-strength thermoplastic with soft padding for added comfort.
- Controlled Dorsiflexion: Allows for slight plantar flexion during the toe-off phase of gait.
Indications:
- Foot drop (“drop foot” syndrome)
- Insufficient dorsiflexion
- Hemiplegia (due to stroke)
- Flaccid paralysis
- Sciatic and peroneal nerve damage
Contraindications:
This AFO is not suitable for patients with spastic paralysis or varus/valgus deformities. Consult your physician or physical therapist to determine suitability.
