Key benefits Improves stability and balance during walking by supporting multiple phases of the gait cycle. Promotes a secure heel strike with neutral foot positioning and stabilizes the ankle to correct varus/valgus alignment in mid-stance. Reduces the effort and fall risk associated with foot drop so walking becomes easier and more confident. Lightweight, durable construction designed for comfortable, long-term wear. What it does Assists the foot and ankle through heel strike, mid‑stance and toe‑off to produce a smoother, safer gait. Holds the ankle in a neutral position to reduce inward/outward tilting (varus/valgus) and help prevent trips and falls. Lifts the forefoot to counteract foot drop, improving posture and step clearance. Materials and build Made from high-quality polyethylene composite and selected composite fabrics for a balance of strength and low weight. Durable construction that minimizes bulk so the brace can be worn for extended periods without added burden. Fit and ease of use Opens from both sides for straightforward application and removal, making it practical for people with limited dexterity or hemiplegia. Low-profile design fits easily under pants or over leggings for everyday wear. Designed to accommodate most users; the adjustable closure and openable sides make donning simple for caregivers and self-application. Performance highlights Neutral foot positioning ensures a reliable heel strike and improved step mechanics. Ankle stabilization helps correct alignment during mid‑stance, supporting safer, more efficient walking. Lightweight materials maintain durability without compromising comfort during prolonged use. Typical use scenarios Post-stroke rehabilitation and hemiplegia: Provides support for patients relearning safe walking patterns. Age-related foot drop or muscle weakness: Assists with step clearance and reduces the risk of tripping during daily activities. Everyday mobility and recovery: Useful for users who need additional ankle control for walking, exercise, or physical therapy sessions. Who this is for Individuals with foot drop, ankle instability, or gait abnormalities who need a supportive, low-profile orthosis. Caregivers and rehabilitation professionals seeking a durable, easy-to-wear AFO for daily use. Usage notes Wear under clothing or over leggings as preferred. Follow your clinician’s fitting and use guidance to ensure optimal function and comfort.
