Push Ortho AFO Ankle and Foot Brace

The Push Ortho AFO Ankle and Foot Brace makes lifting and controlling the foot easier when walking. It is ideal for those with conditions that can affect control and mobility of the foot, such as foot drop. The brace can fit comfortably into many different types of shoes and can be trimmed and adjusted to suit your individual needs.

What's Included in My Purchase?

• 1 x AFO Brace

Can the Push AFO Ankle and Foot Brace Help Me?

You may be interested in the Push AFO if you have diminished foot or ankle mobility. This can be caused by a number of conditions, including:

• Post-polio syndrome
• Muscular dystrophy
• Foot drop
• Spinal chord injury 
• Polyneuropathy

Regardless of your condition, you must consult a specialist before purchasing an orthosis or ankle and foot brace to make sure it is suitable for you.

What Sizes Are There?

The Push AFO Ankle and Foot Brace is available for either the right or left foot. To find the right fit for you, measure the circumference of your ankle and refer to the sizing table below. To be on the safe side, you can match the brace to you shoe size as well.

What Makes the Push AFO Brace an Effective Walking Aid?

The Push AFO Brace allows you to maintain a natural gait as you walk. It helps to control the natural mechanisms in your foot and leg as your heel strikes the ground, as you push off to move forward and as you swing your leg to take another step. This extra support can be very helpful if you struggle with ankle instability and can make standing up and walking up and down stairs easier.

Does the Push Ortho AFO Need to Be Professionally Fitted?

The Push AFO needs to be adjusted by a fitting professional before you can use it. A demonstration of this process can be found in the video below:

How Do I Put the Push Ankle and Foot Brace On?

Open all of the straps before attempting to put on the Push AFO. You can then insert your foot underneath the crossed straps and start to reattach them, starting from the top closure, moving to the  strap at your heel, and finishing with two straps at the sides of your foot. For a visual guide, watch the short video below:

How Do I Use the Push AFO as a Night Splint?

The Push AFO Ankle and Foot Brace can help prevent cramping and hanging of the foot while you're sleeping. For this purpose, avoid attaching the non-elastic straps too tightly and only apply the elastic straps along the sides of your leg. Again, apply them a little looser than usual.

Can I Wear This Brace When I Exercise?

The Push AFO can be worn while you are participating in physical activity, even if it is a higher intensity sport. While it is just as effective for this purpose it may reduce the brace's lifespan.

How Should I Wash the Push Ortho Ankle and Foot Brace?

The foot brace can be washed by hand or in the laundry (at temperatures up to 30°C on a delicate fabrics cycle). You should also close the hook and loop fasteners before you start washing it to prevent damage. Always avoid using bleaching agents. The brace can be placed on a gentle spin-dry, or hung to air-dry, but avoid placing it in a tumble dryer or near sources of heat.

Our Guide to Finding the Perfect Size and Fit

Using Your Shoe Size

For most of our insoles, the easiest way to find the best size for you is to go off of your current shoe size. The majority of our insoles are available in a range of sizes and you can simply select the size that best fits your existing shoes.

Please be aware that, as with shoes, there can be slight variations in the size of insoles. For example a size 8 of one brand might not be exactly the same size and width as the size 8 of another. To help account for these discrepancies, a number of our insoles include dimensions to help you ensure you're getting the right size.

Measuring Your Current Insoles

While using your shoe size to find your best size is a good guide, it is not always foolproof. If you want to guarantee that your insole fit your shoes as closely as possible, we recommend measuring your existing insole and using this as a guide to your size.

To do this, please follow the steps outlined below:

1. Remove the existing insole from the shoes you wish to use your new insoles with (please note that not all insoles are removable)
2. Measure the insoles at their longest and widest points (see the below diagram for an idea of where this will be
3. Match the measurements to the dimensions of the insoles listed, and choose the size that best fits your results

Where Can I Find the Dimensions?

The dimensions for insoles can be found on the "Product Details" tab (please see below) and are usually found in the sizing section of the listing, in a table. Please be aware that not all products currently have the dimensions listed.

The dimensions of insoles can usually be found on the "Product Details" tab

What If There Are No Dimensions Listed?

If you do not see the dimensions listed on the Product Details tab, please fill in the form below and we will work to get the relevant information as quickly as possible. We will email you once we have the information that you have requested.

Trimming Your Insoles to Fit

To get the ultimate level of fit from your insoles, you can trim them to make a small adjustment. To trim your insoles, simply follow the steps below:

1. Remove your existing insoles from your shoes
2. Line up your existing and new insoles at the heel
3. Trace the outline of the insoles against the new pair at the toe end (see the image below for an example)
4. Carefully cut along the traced line
5. Your insoles should now fit your shoes better

Carefully trace the outline of your insole

Please note that not all insoles are suitable for trimming. Most insoles are unsuitable for return once they have been trimmed to fit; we recommend bearing this in mind prior to trimming.
