Are you suffering with Drop Foot?

Thousands of people suffer with drop foot every day after surviving a stroke or living with conditions such as Charcot-Marie-Tooth or Multiple Sclerosis. We now have the Silicone Ankle Foot Orthosis (SAFO), which can free you from those troublesome walking difficulties caused by drop foot. The SAFO is a revolutionary product that works by supporting the front of the leg down to the top of the foot, helping to lift the foot during walking.

Product Details:

-The SAFO supports you during each and every step

-Fabricated from silicone, the silicone ankle foot orthosis (SAFO) is an alternative to conventional orthoses for dorsiflexor weakness. In contrast to conventional ankle foot orthoses, the SAFO supports your foot not from below but across the arch of the foot from above in order to prevent the foot from dropping.

-The great advantage of this principle is that thanks to the thin, flexible sole, you can feel the ground conditions directly and detect uneven surfaces such as stones and doorsteps. The result: enhanced safety and self-confidence when walking.

-Since the SAFO is worn directly on the foot, it can be worn without firm shoes. You can even go barefoot. This lets you wear the orthosis throughout the day even when you’re swimming, bathing, or showering – out and about, at the pool or at home.

-More self-confidence thanks to improved sense of surroundings

-Thanks to the thin, flexible sole and the open heel, the SAFO lets you feel the ground conditions directly. This results in a heel strike that is noticeably safer. As a result, you can easily cross uneven surfaces such as doorsteps or stairs as well.

-More freedom and comfort
-The SAFO is custom fabricated according to your dimensions, guaranteeing the best possible fit on the foot and joint. Thanks to its precise fit, the SAFO lets you walk comfortably and safely, and offers a high level of comfort and freedom of movement – whether barefoot or wearing a shoe – without leaving pressure points.
