Our Best Ankle Foot Orthotics (AFOs)

13 April 2022

Foot drop (sometimes referred to as drop foot) is a general term referring to difficulty lifting, raising or moving the front part of the foot. Foot drop has a number of root causes and is primarily a symptom associated with another condition. Thankfully for sufferers, foot drop can be corrected through the use of an Ankle Foot Orthotic (AFO)

AFOs sit underneath the foot like an insole and connect at the front or rear of the ankle to provide stability and prevent the foot drooping down. There are different types of AFO, each with individual benefits and characteristics.

Our Most Popular Rehabilitation AFO

Boxia Drop Foot AFO BraceThe Boxia Drop Foot AFO Brace is our most popular AFO for individuals suffering with foot drop or forefoot and ankle instability. The Boxia Brace enhances rehabilitation by connecting the ankle strap to the front of your shoe, creating a strong and stable connective band.
