Re: Low Profile Foot Drop Orthosis

3/25/2003

One of my Orthopedists just mentioned that he had seen a patient with a low profile plastic AFO the fit on the dorsum of the foot and anterior ankle with a circumferential strap around the shin. It extended a short distance up the shin--roughly to the height of a work boot. It was the physician's impression that it was an off the shelf item. He had no information as to a manufacturer or where the patient obtained it. Does this description sound familiar to anyone on the list? If so, I would appreciate any information you might be able to share.

Yours in the Pursuit,
