Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How does an in-shoe AFO differ from a soft Drop Foot strap-style support?
An in-shoe AFO is a more structured option with a rigid footplate positioned inside the shoe and secured with a shin strap, helping keep the ankle in a more neutral position. A soft strap-style support typically provides a more elastic feel and relies heavily on strap tension and shoe choice.
What type of shoe works best, and what should I check for proper fit?
Shoes with a firm heel counter and secure lacing tend to work best, helping the brace remain stable. Make sure there is enough internal volume and that no pressure points develop from straps or brace edges.
Which additional aids fit a more holistic everyday gait-support approach?
It is often combined with a supportive orthotic insole and proper footwear with stable heel support. When extra safety is needed, a walking aid such as a cane or walker may be useful, while a gait-training or exercise plan guided by a professional can improve overall day-to-day practicality.
