Today Michael Johnson, CPO discusses how to correct foot drop with OrthoPro.
OrthoPro has several brace options to support and correct the issue of foot drop. The Blue Rocker AFO Brace supports foot drop at the ankle and at the knee. This AFO brace goes inside the shoe with your foot on top. The brace can stay in the shoe when not in use. It's also ideal for knee weakness.
The Blue Rocker is also great for quieting foot drop - often the foot slaps the floor. With the Blue Rocker, that issue is resolved. The Blue Rocker can be used to play sports and stay active. The straps allow a secure attachment while the AFO itself offers maximum stability.
We have already discussed the Turbo Med and in a future video we will talk about one other type of AFO brace. Make sure to subscribe for more videos!

Hi! Welcome back. I'm Michael from OrthoPro.
Let's discuss another option that people have when dealing with foot drop.
This brace is called the Blue Rocker, it's another option for people who experience foot drop to help support their foot not only at the ankle but also at the knee. It resists flexion at the knee and that happens a lot of time with foot drop. We find this designed to be very useful for people that need extra support. It not only has a very strong anterior shell to it but it also helps to pick the foot up when you take your foot off the ground and you need to swing it through so you're worried with foot drop that you're going to catch the toe. That helps prevent that from happening. This particular brace goes inside the shoe so as long as you have enough room in your shoe you do have options for Footwear.
It slips in and then once that's placed inside the shoe the straps are undone and you can actually leave the brace in the shoe and step into the shoe and then you do up the brace straps and in that manner you're able to not worry about dragging your foot on the ground and tripping and falling and if you have knee weakness it will give you the support that you need.
As you may have experienced, some people that have foot drop sometimes aren't that quiet - their foot slaps the ground because they don't have control of that foot gradually getting to the floor and so it does quiet the foot slap that happens and also if you're wanting to do activities such as pickleball it'll help you get around faster and beat those youngsters!
