Re: [TMIC] Adjustable Ankle Stabilizer for drop foot

[kimr1999]

I was fitted with a "custom made" AFO in 04 at the rehab hospital for drop foot... really helped but problem is I can't take anything (no socks, shoes, blankets) ect on my feet (yes winter is a real buggar let me tell you)

but so.... the AFO does help alot if you have insurance they will pay for it.

I saw a friend that had a light brake in his ankle wearing a adjustable ankle stabilizer that he got from Wal-Mart for about $12.   I got one, it can be warn on the left or right ankle.  It has really helped with my drop foot around the house.  I want to be able to where all night long ( I started at 4 pm ), but my foot burned so bad that at 1 am, I had to take it off.    There is a smaller one that might be better with shoes for $8.   Has anyone else tried this & if so, how did it work for you?   Hope everyone is having a BETTER day, Todd in CC, TX

 

 

What is this, Todd?  Jeanne
