The 4.5-inch strap provides light compression and support, while three high-tension straps cross over the bottom of the foot and create tension to lift the foot. The forefoot is equipped with a 2 mm cushion pad for shock absorption. Whether you suffer from foot drop or simply want to wear a brace to protect your feet, these devices are great for your needs.

XTERN is Turbomed’s exclusive orthotic, and it is made of thermoplastic materials. The device comes with a two-year warranty.

Spring-loaded ankle brace

A series elastic actuator is mounted on a standard polypropylene ankle foot orthosis (AFO). Its motor is controlled by a computer and takes decisions based on an adaptive control algorithm.

The AFO is made to provide torque to the ankle joint during the push-off phase of gait. The motor actuates the spring that adjusts the ankle stiffness to prevent toe dragging.

AFO brace for foot drop

AFO brace for foot drop is a common condition that affects millions of people around the world. It can lead to decreased mobility, lower quality of life, and increased risks of injuries and slips

Outside-of-shoe device

An Outside-of-shoe device for an adjustable drop foot brace has two main functions: to help the wearer move their ankle to a neutral position and to reduce the risk of a fall. The ground reaction AFO has an anterior shell that redistributes forces closer to the knee than other orthotics. The floor reaction AFO gives a person more leverage, reducing the risk of skin breakdown and allowing the wearer to continue their activities. Both models are designed for people with varying degrees of ankle pain.

An AFO mechanism consists of a slider that moves through a pivot point on the drive link to adjust the angle of lift and release. The slider is connected to a control system that consists of a potentiometer in the ankle joint, a force sensing resistor under the shoe, and an encoder on the motor. These sensors detect movement of the affected limb. An AFO can provide up to 3.51 Nm of torque in the dorsiflexion and plantarflexion directions. Its spring modulus is 3110 N/m.

Helps prevent foot drop

A simple adjustable drop foot brace can provide good support for mild foot drops without being intrusive. This brace is easy to wear and fits comfortably in many types of shoes. It can also be adjusted to fit any individual’s foot, and has interchangeable inserts for a customized fit. It can be worn with laced shoes or sandals, but not barefoot. Moreover, it can be washed easily with mild detergent.

. The system uses an eight-bit pulse-width modulated signal to adjust the damping current based on gait phases. It has four states of damping: free, locked, and moderate. The latter assists in preventing foot-slapping. The free down state enables free movement while the lock state locks the ankle during the swing phase.

Choose a drop foot brace

 

While choosing a drop foot brace, you should take care of how durable it is. Not all brands provide good customer care service. Some of them do not even take responsibility for their products, so always look for a reputable company. It is better to know the features of a foot drop brace before buying one. This way, you won’t be distracted by appealing designs or selections of the latest products. In addition, you’ll feel more confident in your purchase.

What Readers Are Saying

Before this brace, I purchased another one (the same style but more expensive). I had to return it. Didn’t work. Unfortunately, for this brace they don’t accept return. Anyway, I would like to have an answer from the Seller (is not Ossur) regarding one strap missing described in Ossur instructions. 

Mike Sendler

Totally better than wearing the AFO the doctor prescribed for my foot drop. I still need to pay attention to lifting my leg a bit higher so as not to catch my toe but sooooo much better than the cumbersome AFO that was really effecting my walk and giving my hip issues. 

Charmaine Tobey

It took me a couple of applications to determine how far down on my laces to place the elastic base to the flexible foot-up holder. Once I found out the location I can say it is great for two reasons: (1) Price; (2) It works. 

Delmar Byers

Keeps foot up… great. Got rid of the brace that went up the entire calf that was very confining. She feels much more free and people don’t look at her like she’s an invalid (she had spinal surgery and a dropped foot, among other major things resulting from a car accident).
