Adjustable Ankle Foot Drop Orthosis with Aluminum Support Strip

The brace wraps the calf and foot, and a turn of the knob draws the front of the foot up.

This is an ankle foot orthosis built around a firm aluminum strip that runs from a calf cuff down the side of the ankle to a foot wrap. A knob on the outside tensions a cord, and turning it draws the forefoot upward and holds it there. A rotating joint at the ankle lets the foot move as you step.

The wrap is made from a soft neoprene style fabric with a hook and loop closure, and it is slim enough to wear inside a shoe. It comes in black, one size with an adjustable telescopic strap, so it fits a range of feet and ankles.

Key Benefits

• Aluminum support strip A built in aluminum strip runs along the side to give the wrap its firm shape without much bulk.
• Knob adjustment A knob tensions the cord so you can draw the front of the foot up and hold it at the level you set.
• Rotating ankle joint A joint at the ankle lets the foot flex as you walk rather than locking it stiff.
• Wear it with shoes The slim wrap fits inside most trainers so you can move around in it during the day.
• One size adjustable A telescopic strap and hook and loop closure adjust to a range of foot and ankle sizes.
• Soft fabric wrap A neoprene style fabric and nylon build sits against the skin for extended wear.

Best for: anyone who has been advised to hold the front of the foot in a raised position and wants an adjustable wrap they can wear inside a shoe.

Why It Works

The firmness comes from the aluminum strip, and the position comes from the cord. Turn the knob and the cord shortens, drawing the forefoot up; the rotating joint keeps the ankle free to bend as you step. Everything adjusts with the strap and closure, so one wrap fits either foot.

How It Fits Your Routine
