Product Details

Bodymedics Swedish AFO

Drop foot is a condition that can have a real impact on your quality of life and health, as an inability to lift your foot can increase the likelihood of trips and falls. If you suffer from foot drop, it's highly important to use an ankle-foot orthosis (AFO) to stabilise your gait, protect yourself and others, and promote healing of the neuropathic problems that cause foot drop.

The Bodymedics Swedish AFO is a reliable and effective AFO that provides excellent support for drop foot. A thick vertical aspect ensures that the Swedish AFO provides rigid support, while the thinner footplate is trimmable for a custom fit.

What's Included?

  • 1 x Swedish AFO

I purchased an extra large Bodymedics Swedish AFO to help me with a problem of foot drop on my right foot.
It is nowhere near broad enough in the heel and it really hurts when I try to use it. Therefore I cannot use it.

As I had to trim the lengh of the foot plate before I could get it in to my shoe to use it. I feel I cannot return it now? Other than that, I have no complaint at all and the service I received when I ordered it was second to none.
