Review on ๐Ÿ‘ฃ Effective Achilles Adjustable Orthosis for Walking by Adam Matthews

Serves Its Purpose - Medical Supplies & Devices

I had a stroke and I can't sleep in the boot I was given in rehab because I can't wear it, so I wake up at night to go to the bathroom. So I needed a product that would stretch my Achilles overnight. This product fulfills this purpose. I don't wear it during the day. I clean my foot during normal walking (even with a 5lb ankle load!) but I can say this product will help those of you who need help to prevent foot scratching while walking. I should also mention that my stroke has limited the function of my right arm - I cannot use this leg brace alone. This is a two-handed process. One nice thing is that I can start with a little stretch on the Achilles tendon and then move on to more stretches etc. I can send pictures if anyone wants to see how it's applied.

Pros
  • PRODUCT USE: Relief of pain and discomfort caused by foot drop after stroke, plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, diabetic neuropathy, muscular dystrophy, peroneal paralysis, polio, multiple sclerosis , other neuromuscular deficits and more!
Cons
  • Electrical outlet required
