Features & Benefits of the Easy Gait Brace |
|
|
The Easy Gait Brace is an
externally attached AFO that uses the biomechanical principles of isometrics to create a
more normal stride and full articulation of the ankle while walking. This unique, lightweight device is externally attached to any lace up shoe, boot or sneaker and allows the user to wear regular footwear instead of an oversized shoe to accommodate the brace. It also eliminates irritation and lets the cushioned insert inside the shoe comfort the foot. Once the orthosis is fitted and comfortable, other shoes can be modified to accept the same brace so that different shoe styles may be worn. The Easy Gait Brace may not help individuals with very strict, rigid support requirements.. But, it is ideal in the beginning or intermediate stage of foot drop and for those who need minimal bracing. This walking assistance provides for continuing muscle function and reduces muscle atrophy that usually accompanies rigid bracing. |
