Orthoses for the Ankle & Foot

Improper alignment, nerve damage, and neurological conditions may hinder the ability to walk and move around due to instability or improper placement of the foot and ankle. This instability can increase the risk of falls and the risk of further injury to the back, hip, and knees over time.

Foot and ankle braces are a common form of support to address the effects of alignment issues, nerve damage, or a neurological condition by creating stability, improving walking, and helping to keep you mobile. Braces can be simple, such as a rigid structure positioned around the ankle that restricts movement and helps you heal from a sprain. However, more complex conditions, such as a stroke, a traumatic brain injury, a spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, and cerebral palsy may require a more customized solution to support weakness or improper alignment in the ankle.
