Overview:

The Orliman AFO Frop Foot Ankle Support - Size 2 is designed to provide comprehensive support and relief for individuals suffering from foot drop and related conditions. Constructed with a rigid high-density 4 mm-thick polyethylene structure, this orthosis offers robust support and durability.

The device features an anti-slip sole to ensure stability and prevent accidents, making it safe to use even for individuals with mobility issues.

Functioning as a progressive positional splint, this ankle support is particularly effective in preventing foot drop and muscle shortening during extended periods of bed rest. It maintains the ankle in as close to a neutral position as possible, depending on the patient’s condition, and passively stretches the plantar fascia and calf muscles during the night.

This stretching action helps to alleviate the painful stabbing sensation often experienced in the heels with the first few steps in the morning. By improving circulation and blood flow while you sleep, the Orliman AFO Frop Foot Ankle Support aids in breaking up adhesions and scar tissue, speeding up the healing process. Wearing this night splint keeps the foot and arch stretched, preventing the plantar fascia ligament from contracting and becoming less flexible, thereby reducing morning pain and improving overall foot health.
