Core Products FootFlexor AFO Foot Drop Brace, XSmall - Small

My grandma broke her hip, had surgery, and was left with no feeling in her right leg or foot. She was recommended to get a very specific brace to help with her new mobility challenges, and this brace has been perfect. I bought her a pair of the Hoka Solimar shoes and the brace works wonderfully with them

Este aparato ha sido de gran ayuda para mejorar mi forma de caminar con pie caído. Proporciona buen soporte y estabilidad. Sin embargo, después de varias horas de uso puede resultar un poco incómodo, especialmente si no se ajusta bien al calzado. Aun así, cumple con su función

So far so good. I have used AFOs for 28 years after an accident in my early 20s. I have tried many different styles and fads of AFOs over the years. I came across this and saw many good reviews so I decided to try it. I have tried other similar styles in the past and did not feel they gave enough support. I thought worse case scenario I send it back after giving it a try. I ordered a large, I needed a small. To my surprise this brace works quite well. Attaching the loops that go on the show are quite simple and take under 10 seconds per eyelet. It comes with enough sets you can put them on several shoes. Having the brace attach low, just above the ankle does take a bit of getting use to. My Achilles got a bit sore the first few times i wore it but I got use to it pretty quickly. Virtually all new braces I have wore take a little break in period so don’t be too alarmed if it feels a bit funny the first few wears. What I like about it is the flexibility it allows. If you are someone who needs a lot of support this may not be the best option for you. My other go-to brace is a TurboMed which offers a lot more support but also cost around $1000 give or take. I intend to have a couple of these to have as backup braces and also to wear daily when I don’t feel like wearing the larger brace. I cannot say how well the band will hold up, I ordered 2 extras and realize I could likely fashion my own with the clips if and when it breaks out of some slingshot tubing. I also really like how easy it is to reach down and unclip one side of it when I am stationary for a while, like driving, to relieve pressure off my foot and ankle. If you are like me and like to know your options and try different AFO trope braces for foot drop I would recommend trying this one. At $50-60 it is hard to beat if this one works for you. I hope this helps someone looking at this brace, cheers.

I've had single-sided foot drop for almost 2 years due to a congenital vertebral issue. After a spinal surgery, the foot drop improved, but continued. I've only had the brace about 2 weeks, but I feel it has helped lift my foot and prevent tripping with both pickleball (6 hours of play) and walking (6 miles.) Although I wasn't tripping regularly, I was tripping (on walks) or 'getting stuck' on the court more than I wanted. This brace was recommended to me a year ago, but I avoided ordering it as it appeared (from the picture) to be cumbersome. I regret that now, as I feel more confident with both walking and on the pickleball court. It is easy to apply and comes with clear instructions. It is comfortable. It took a few tries to get the tension, wrap, and postion optimal. Because I don't usually wear shoes in the house, I don't wear it more than a few hours at a time.

This is one of the most expensive unit but it is worth the money. It is the same unit I used while I was in the hospital during my recovery. It allows rather fine adjustment to my need (ie more or less tension, more tension on which side of my foot, etc). I have been using the footflexor when I did my walking exercises and I found that the footflexor helped me to walk easier and walk further distance. Due to te fine adjustment, the footflexor can be adjusted to my various stages of my condition during my recovery. I am very happy with it and believe that I get what I pay for.
