Ossur orthotics are award-winning orthopedic products that range from prosthetics to braces and supports. Innovative orthotic devices by Ossur are designed to enhance the movement of the ankle and foot and offer the best orthopedic devices on the market in the field of orthotics.
The Ossur Foot-Up Foot Drop Orthosis is a lightweight ankle foot orthosisfor mild or moderate foot drop that is remarkably easy to put on. You know from experience that any device, brace, or support that is easy to put on will be worn more frequently.
Foot Up AFO Brace
The Foot-Up orthosis is made up of two main parts – a cushioned ankle strap made of a comfortable, breathable fabric, and a plastic inlay that fits between the tongue and laces of the shoe. The plastic inlay attaches to the ankle strap by means of a super strong elastic strap, which has a quick release clip. With each step, the ankle cuff part of the Foot-Up Orthosis pulls on the inlay to help clear the foot, thus producing an immediate improvement in the person’s walk. Wear this Foot-Up Orthosis and you may very well find yourself walking normally. Think of the increase in confidence this will give you, especially when you are out in public.
Comfortably worn inside many shoes, the Ossur Foot-Up Foot Drop Orthosis can be used with an accessory that will allow this device to be worn barefoot. The Shoeless Accessory for Foot-Up is essentially a wrap for the arch of the foot that clips to the Foot-Up ankle strap. So, if you want the comfort of going barefoot at home along with ease of walking, this Shoeless Accessory is for you. Please note that this accessory is only useful with the Foot-Up orthosis.
Ossur AFO Leaf Spring
Another great orthotic device from Ossur for moderate foot drop is the Leaf Spring AFO. The design of this orthosis includes a semi-rigid section that assists with toe clearance and support, along with a thin, flexible foot plate that can be trimmed with scissors for a custom fit. The absence of a heel section on the foot plate makes this Ossur ankle foot orthosis easy to fit into a wide variety of shoes. Also, if you are wearing pants, it will not be noticeable at all.
