Drop foot shouldn't limit your independence. The Prim Reinforced Drop Foot Orthosis (AFO) is a medical-grade solution designed to stabilize the ankle and lift the foot during the "swing" phase of your walk. By preventing the toes from dragging, it restores a natural gait and significantly reduces the risk of trips and falls. Crafted from high-quality thermoplastics, this orthosis offers the perfect balance of rigid stability and functional flexibility.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between model NA400 and NA410?
The NA400 (White) is made of polypropylene and is generally more flexible, ideal for patients who need moderate lift. The NA410 (Grey) is reinforced with 20% talc, making it stiffer and more supportive for patients with more severe drop foot or those requiring higher stability.
Can I wear this inside my regular shoes?
Yes, it is designed with a complete, slim-profile insole to fit inside most closed lace-up or Velcro shoes. We recommend wearing shoes with a removable insole or choosing a slightly wider shoe to accommodate the brace comfortably.
Can the orthosis be adjusted for a better fit?
Yes. This orthosis is thermoformable. A medical professional or technician can use a hot air gun to slightly reshape the thermoplastic to better match the specific anatomy of your foot or calf for increased comfort.
Is this suitable for everyone with drop foot?
This specific model is designed for flaccid drop foot (without severe spasticity). It should not be used on patients with significant varus or valgus (inward or outward) hindfoot deformities without specialist consultation.
How do I care for my AFO?
Wipe the thermoplastic shell with a damp cloth and mild soap. The padded straps can be hand washed in cold water. Avoid high heat sources (like radiators or tumble dryers) as they can warp the material.
