How Does the Ossur Foot Up Support Drop Foot?
The Ossur Foot Up Foot Drop Support is a lightweight ankle-foot orthosis that offers dynamic support for drop foot, peroneal neuropathies and dysfunctional gait plus other similar complaints. This revolutionary support provides visible improvement in gait by supporting the foot the moment it is raised.
Can I Wear the Foot Up and Shoeless Bundle with Any Shoes?
The Foot Up with Shoeless Add-On is not only helpful for relieving foot drop with or without shoes, it is also exceptionally helpful for shoes that are not easily compatible with the normal Foot Up system. This includes sandals, flip-flops and Mary Jane-style shoes.
We would recommend that you stay away from high top and high laced up boots, as you may find that the product does not fit you properly. Otherwise, it will be perfect for most types of shoes, including ordinary trainers and work shoes.
How Can the Ossur Foot Up Help Me Walk?
Designed to counter the effects of drop-foot, the Ossur Foot Up is well suited for people that are suffering from neurological impairments such as a stroke or a condition such as Charcot Marie Tooth. For more information, please watch the video below:
