Description:
 

BENEFIT/FEATURE #1
This item is ideal for being used at night for a nighttime foot drop preventive device to prevent contracture (Contracture is stiffening and tightening of calf muscle over time from foot drop or hang that can lead to permanent Contracture) These work like an expensive foot drop boot but in my opinion are nice because they are


1. Lightweight
2. Allow Air flow to help prevent moisture that can lead to skin softening and breakdown
3. They serve 2 functions-Nighttime foot Drop Prevention and can also be used (see BENEFIT/FEATURE#2) as an AFO for Gait/walking therapy for increased gait quality


I am a Physical Therapist Assistant and have used these type of Support AFO type Braces for my patients. The two pieces are used: 1 piece above ankle and on foot that connects to above the abkle to keep foot positioned upward into a dorsiflexed position at night to prevent contracture of ankle/calf. The device also benefits by  promoting passive stretch to calf muscle before therapy treatment.

BENEFIT/FEATURE#2
After Night time use, or any other time you can use 1 of these as an AFO(Ankle Foot Orthotic Brace) to help keep foot in what we call a Dorsiflexed position to keep ankle and foot in upward position to clear floor with the swing phase of gait to clear floor for increased gait/walking quality

They are easy to apply, Lightweight and patients prefer them for their ease of use and Cosmetic Features. One Benefit that is really nice is they don't constrict or apply pressure on the skin, as they are used on the outside part of the lower leg and attach to the shoe. One Size Fits all!
