• is there any other design for a drop foot brace to make it more self effishent to make it easier to put on there self his 84 years old and its hard for him to bend that low to put on brace an shoe by himself
• Thank you for contacting Better Braces. Unfortunetly this is the only AFO design that we carry. You may want to talk to a speicialist as they can sometimes assist by making customized AFO's to help with application.

• What calf widths will the brace support? I'm a plus size woman and need to insure I can wear this.
  
• The strap circumference on the Procare Super Lite A.F.O. is about 18in.

• Can this be worn while running? Does it bend?
• The ProCare SUPER LITE A.F.O. is a ready-to-wear support designed to help foot drop and other neurological conditions. In addition to preventing foot drop many wear this support to prevent falling, stabilize themselves while walking and improve their gate. Made from polypropylene to provide a semi-rigid section for toe clearance and support. It is thin and flexible and can be trimmed as needed with scissors. The heel opening make it more comfortable to wear and provides a better fit in shoes. Very durable and yet lightweight.

• Can it be worn without alteration to the shoes?
• Yes, you do not need to alter the shoe to use the Procare Super Lite AFO. However you can have a clinician heat mold the footplate for a more custom fit.
Coleen at 5/16/2014 1:11 PM
• Can an extra calf padding be ordered as well? Does it come in white to match the AFO?
• Coleen
  No I am sorry there isn't extra padding available for the AFO

Brace is too Tight

Reviewed by: Shar Weaver
Verified Purchase

I had surgery on my left hip socket and my pelvis. As a result I developed foot drop and numbness of my left leg. Gradually I got feeling back in my thigh, but still have no feeling in my left foot. My lower left leg continues to be full of pins and needles. Because my left foot was swollen for quite a while, I was unable to get my foot into any shoes. Finally, the swelling went down, and I was able to put on two different pairs of shoes. After several minutes of tugging and pushing, I was finally able to put both the brace and my foot into a left shoe. Unfortunately, the solid plastic part that clamps behind the lower leg was too small. It dug into my leg and also caused some numbness in my ankle. Is there a way to enlarge the plastic part? Or would I have to order a larger size and trim the bottom part to fit my shoes?

Pros: Lightweight, easy to put into shoe.

Cons: Upper part, where the Velcro is attached, is too tight on my leg. Even though the Velcro was loose, the plastic part was too tight and dug into my calf.

Not for thin width

Reviewed by: Lisa

The bottom of the brace was too thin to fit around/ under the ball of my foot. Therefore it made this brace not effective.

Pros:  The return policy with swift and easy

Cons:  Did not help with drop off

Works for what it is

I've had many of these. They work well but need to be made of a more rigid material to hold up better.

Overall a useful item for "Drop Foot"

Reviewed by: Don Banca
Verified Purchase

I have a very bad "drop foot" issue, and this item is quite useful in helping with my walking. It is not as good as my custom built and fitted AFO, but it is less cumbersome and is great for extended wear.

Pros: Less cumbersome than custom built AFO and very lightweight

Cons: Not as comfortable over an entire day's wear or usage compared to the custom built and fitted. A flesh colored version would be a great addition to the product

Served the purpose

Reviewed by: David B Newton

It was great for temporary use, but it doesn't compare to my professionally made brace. I used it because my regular brace broke after 3 years.

Pros: Kept me from stumbling because of drop foot.

Cons: It didn't give as much support as my orthotic made brace.
