Key benefits Prevents or reduces foot drop during walking by supporting dorsiflexion and assisting the toe through the swing phase. Improves ankle stability and lateral control to reduce risk of trips and abnormal gait patterns. Comfortable enough for daily wear thanks to padded leg and calf contact areas and an inside shape that minimizes shoe interference. What it is Thermoplastic ankle foot orthosis (AFO) made of polypropylene. Semi-rigid (half-hard) sole designed to assist the toe in the swing phase while providing necessary support. How it solves problems Supports dorsiflexion to lift the foot during the swing phase, addressing foot drop from neurological impairment. Provides medial and lateral ankle stability to correct or manage varus (inward) or valgus (outward) foot positions. Heel cutout and a customizable foot section allow the orthosis to take up minimal room in the shoe and to fit the user’s actual foot size, improving comfort and compatibility with regular footwear. Key features Material: durable thermoplastic polypropylene for long-lasting support and shape retention. Sole: half-hard/semi-rigid sole that assists toe clearance during swing phase without being overly stiff. Adjustable sizing: foot portion can be trimmed to match the user’s actual foot length. Shoe compatibility: cutout at the back of the heel reduces bulk inside the shoe. Comfort: padded leg and calf contact areas for extended wear with reduced pressure points. Function: provides dorsiflexion assistance, medial/lateral stability, and correction support for varus/valgus positions. Suitable for People experiencing foot drop after neurological injury or impairment. Individuals needing correction or support for varus or valgus foot alignment. Users who require a dorsiflexion aid and comprehensive ankle stability during walking. Practical applications / use scenarios Daily walking and community ambulation: Wear inside regular shoes to improve toe clearance and reduce stumbling while walking outdoors or indoors. Rehabilitation after neurological events: Use during therapy and daily activities to support gait retraining in patients recovering from stroke or other neurological impairment. Postural support for unstable ankles: Wear during light activity or standing tasks to provide lateral ankle stability and help manage varus/valgus deformities. Sizing and fitting notes The foot section can be trimmed to the exact length of the user’s foot for a better fit—trim carefully according to markings or provider guidance. The heel cutout minimizes interference with shoe fit; choose a shoe with sufficient depth if additional volume is needed. Consult a clinician or orthotist for fit adjustments or if custom modifications are required. Performance and care Durable polypropylene construction maintains support over time; inspect regularly for wear. Clean with mild soap and water; allow to air dry. Avoid high heat or solvents that can deform the thermoplastic. Materials and construction Main shell: thermoplastic polypropylene. Sole: semi-rigid (half-hard) for swing-phase assistance. Padding: comfortable leg and calf pads to reduce pressure and improve wearability. This AFO is intended to provide dorsiflexion assistance, ankle stability, and alignment support while remaining compatible with many everyday shoes and comfortable for extended wear.
