Unique Foot Drop Device


I'm recommending the Foot-Up, a lightweight ankle-foot orthosis. The Foot-up has been engineered to provide dynamic support for drop foot or similar complaints.

This revolutionary orthosis provides visible improvement in a person's gait by providing support the moment the foot is raised. Yet, it is incredibly simple to fit and practically invisible when worn.

Foot-Up consists of two main parts: an ergonomic ankle strap and a plastic inlay.

• The plastic inlay fits discretely between the tongue and laces of the shoe and attaches to the ankle strap via a powerful elastic strap.
• The elastic strap features a quick release clip.
• The cushioned ankle strap is constructed from a breathable 3-layer material, which can be worn comfortably for long periods of time without causing skin irritation or impeding the foot’s range of motion.

Features and Benefits:
• Provides dynamic support for drop foot or similar complaints for which support of dorsiflexion is desirable.
• Lightweight and simple to fit.
• Provides visible improvement in a person's gait.
• Ergonomic ankle strap made from a breathable 3-layer structure.
• Plastic inlay fits between the tongue and laces of a person's shoe and is practically invisible.

This is a highly successful and unique product and helps keep many people moving and independant when they would otherwise have to rely on assistance to walk.
