Afo
I was originally ordered to have an AFO to the right foot due to drop foot, but I actually have drop foot to both feet. The doctor suggested the over the counter ones - didn't fit - were too tight, so I didn't wear it (mind you, this was back in August). My walking & balance has gotten worse - co-workers commented on my zombie walk as well, so now I'm wearing the Dorsi-Strap lite.
So far, so good - it took awhile to get it right inside of my tennis shoes, but I can definitely walk to the other end of the building at work without having to lean against the wall or sitting down to take a rest. Gives me a little bit of hope. There are extra straps with it to wear at home, but I don't wear them at home. Today was the first time I've gone shopping without the support of a cart, lean on my husband or put my arm around my kids for support since August & it was ok.
