Foot-Up, The Ossur Foot Up AFO Ankle Brace uses an ankle cuff/inlay design to assist the ankle with dorsiflexion to achieve normal toe clearance during walking. Unlike ankle foot orthoses models constructed out of hard plastic, the Foot Up has a breathable ankle cuff strap that is secured around the ankle for support.
The AFO ankle brace cuff attaches to a clear plastic inlay that fits between the tongue of the shoe and the laces. With each step the cuff pulls on the inlay to assist clearing the foot to produce a normal stride. This AFO ankle brace is our lowest profile model, and comfortably fits inside almost any shoe! It is designed to be used for mild to moderate cases of foot drop where the patient can moderately assist with dorsiflexion of the ankle.
This revolutionary orthosis provides visible improvement in the patient's
gait by providing support the moment the foot is raised. Yet, it is incredibly
simple to fit and practically invisible when worn.

Innovation Sports introduces Foot-Up, a
lightweight ankle-foot orthosis engineered to provide dynamic support for drop
foot or similar complaints. This revolutionary orthosis provides visible
improvement in the patient’s gait by providing support the moment the foot is
raised. Yet, it is incredibly simple to fit and practically invisible when
worn.
Foot-Up consists of two main parts: an
ergonomic ankle strap and a plastic inlay. The plastic inlay fits discretely
between the tongue and laces of the shoe and attaches to the ankle strap via a
powerful elastic strap. The elastic strap features a quick release clip. The
cushioned ankle strap is constructed from a breathable 3-layer material, which
can be worn comfortably for long periods of time without causing skin irritation
or impeding the foot’s range of motion.
