Hello and welcome,
I started wearing AFO's about 2 weeks ago for foot drop on the right and left foot weakness. I have peripheral neuropathy which is mostly motor from damaged nerves in my lower spine. Both my legs are have fair strength according to my physical therapist. First thing I notice is how light my legs felt after dragging my foot around. I am using a cane to help me while I make the adjustment to the braces.
I use the Toe Off by Allard. There seems to me some contoversy, I do not know why. They are light and support the front of my leg.
It is refreshing to see someone who is hopeful and wants to return to work. I pray you do. In the meantime, the AFO will protect you from serious injury.
