This is an excellent brace for foot drop (or drop foot) allowing you to live a more active and healthy life style. The Push AFO is especially designed to provide support for people that have the inability to lift their drop foot up or controlling the foot while walking due to weakness in their leg and/or foot (possibly from Stroke, Multiple Sclerosis, Brain and Spinal cord injuries, Muscular Dystrophy, Peroneal weakness etc)
The Push Ortho Ankle Foot Orthosis (AFO) lifts the foot effectively with a glass fibre frame. It also has elastic straps which can be adjusted to specifically control more movements. These are adjustable and dynamic so can be set to your needs.
The AFO is well padded, light and comfortable unlike other plastic AFOs. This makes it more user friendly.
Where normally the shoe allows for fixation of the orthosis around the foot, the Push AFO has its own ankle fixing strap system. This innovative construction allows the Push AFO to be used with light footwear such as indoor slippers.
