This low profile comfortable Drop Foot Brace by Neofect benefits people whose lack of muscle tone in the leg and foot has created an inability to flex the ankle or lift the foot naturally while walking. Drop foot can arise from stroke, other neurological issues, nerve injury, or orthopedic injuries of the ankle, foot, or toe. The Drop Foot Brace by Neofect improves mobility and helps the user accomplish daily activities by maintaining foot dorsiflexion. Since individuals with drop foot drag their toes on the ground, the body compensates by automatically changing the way they walk so the foot will clear the ground. The Neofect Drop Foot Brace provides ankle and foot stability to keep the foot from inverting while walking. This lifts the toes and ensures the ankle is correctly aligned, so users have a more natural gait and are not straining other areas to compensate for the drop foot.
A cushioned pad on this device provides support for the toes and the wide straps deliver stability and comfort. One low-tension strap and three high-tension straps can be adjusted to the perfect level of support for each individual. A wide main strap ensures adequate blood circulation to the area. It is open at the heel to allow for increased sensation and motion at the rear of the foot. The Drop Foot Brace by Neofect is easy to put on and take off, only requiring one hand. It is for indoor and outdoor use and it can be worn with socks.
