What's Included?

• 1 x Foot Drop Support
• 1 x Plastic Inlay with Elastic Strap (Attached to Support)
• 1 x Set of Instructions

Sizing Information

The Ossur Foot Drop is available in three different sizes. To find the right one for you, simply measure the circumference of your ankle around the malleoli (the bony bit of the ankle) as shown. Then, consult the table below to match your measurements.

Sizing Tips:

• The Foot Up is designed for a close fit. If your size feels too tight, or you fall close to the size above, we recommend choosing a size up for maximum comfort.

Fitting Instructions for the Ossur Foot Drop Support

The Ossur Foot Drop Support requires care and attention when it comes to fitting. It is important you follow these instructions to avoid a poorly fitting brace.

Fitting Instructions

1. Start by measuring the circumference of your ankle to find the correct size for you. See the sizing table above.

2. Next, apply the ankle strap with the narrow hook and loop strip at the bottom. Then, place the ankle strap above the widest part of the ankle and fasten tightly.

3. Place the inlay between the tongue and shoelaces and pull the strap between lace lines.

4. Correct the ankle strap and the inlay by pushing the two parts of the quick-acting closure together as indicated in picture four.

What Are the Causes of Foot Drop?

The root cause of the overwhelming majority of foot-drop cases is an instability, weakness or injury to the muscles sitting at the front of the leg. These muscles control upward movement which can become inhibited in the event of damage or neurological impairment.

Drop foot can also be traced back to a number of neurological conditions like:

• Myositis
• Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease
• Spinal Muscular Atrophy
• Stroke
• Nerve Damage

How Does the Ossur Foot Up Help Me Walk?

Designed to counter the effects of drop-foot, the Ossur Foot Up is well suited for people that are suffering from neurological impairments such as a stroke or a condition such as Charcot Marie Tooth. For more information, please watch the video below:

Breathable, Secure Comfort

The Ossur Foot Up Foot Drop Support features two separate parts; a cushioned ankle wrap, comprised of three breathable layers of material, and a plastic inlay that fits discretely between the tongue and laces of a shoe.

The plastic inlay fastens to the ankle wrap with a strong elastic strap and quick-release clip for ease of use. This design also makes the Ossur Foot Up Foot Drop Support very discrete when wearing it with materials that are kind to the skin.

Detachable Plastic Inlay

The plastic inlay can be purchased separately, allowing you to leave your insert inside several pairs of shoes. Saving you from having to refit it every time, you can simply apply your Ossur Foot Up around your ankle, and attach it to the inlay via the quick-release clip.

Can You Recover From Foot Drop?

The good news is that you can make a full recovery from foot drop if the prognosis of this underlying condition is good. If it isn't, you can manage your condition using a combination of physiotherapy and posturing aids.

Thankfully, products like the Ossur Foot Up offer an incredible prognosis for recovery. Whilst there is no guaranteed cure for foot drop, the Ossur Foot Up effortlessly works to strengthen muscles and align tendons and ligaments to give you the best possible chance of relieving pain and increasing your mobility and range of motion naturally.
