I HAVE FOOT DROP in one foot due to a broken ankle and bulging disks in lower back. I just got a custom AFO brace several weeks ago. It felt so good on my flat foot and arch and helped me walk so straight.
Then I went back this week for any adjustments and they fixed a few things where it was rubbing and lowered the heel and now it feel so good I forget it is there. I am 67 and just canot afford to fall especially with osteoporosis.
So if there is a way to get a custom one with good followup, it can make a world of difference.

I do have a question about what happens after months and years of wearing this. Does you calf experience atrophy making it impossible to walk without it?
