Hello,
I am enquiring as to the availability of an ankle support mechanism that enables drop foot sufferers (or similar) to participate fully in sporting activities, running etc. I am aware of the Toe-Off range of products by Allard and wondered if there were similar products on the market that would allow a patient who can't dorsiflex his or her ankle to be able to run again, so pushing the toes down rather than lifting them up as a traditional (S)AFO would.
Many thanks,
Graeme Macpherson
