are many types of foot drop orthosis available. The most common is the AFO, or
ankle foot orthosis. These devices are a form of brace or splint that lifts the
feet. They need to fit snugly around the ankle and have a clasp that fits in
between the laces. They work best in shoes with laces, but they can also be
used in Velcro shoes.

most common type of foot drop orthosis is the textile foot drop orthosis. It is
lightweight and low-profile. The non-slip band attaches to the laces or tongue.
The removable instep and Achilles tendon padding are adjustable for individual
comfort. The orthotic can be worn shoeless and requires no extra care. The
Turbaned is an excellent choice for everyday use. This is a highly functional
ankle brace and can be used for work or everyday wear.
