Orliman Boxia Plus Drop Foot Support
From: €99,95
Foot drop occurs when the body is unable to activate the correct muscles. These muscles are controlled by nerves. The condition gets its name from the “slapping” sound that can be heard when a person places the foot on the ground after trying to lift it.
With foot drop, you are no longer able to lift the front part of the foot. Because the foot cannot be properly raised during walking, it is lifted higher than usual and then drops down with a “slap” onto the floor. Foot drop develops when the nerves responsible for muscle activation are not functioning well.
This injury arises because the body can no longer properly control the muscles involved in lifting the foot. The nerves that normally activate these muscles may be damaged or compressed. When the nerve is impaired, the foot can no longer lift upward.

Foot drop can have several underlying causes. The primary factor is impaired nerve control. In most cases, foot drop is caused by damage to the nerve that runs along the lower leg (the peroneal nerve). This can occur due to trauma, prolonged crossing of the legs, or long periods of squatting (for example during work).
When a nerve becomes compressed or narrowed (stenosis), the signals cannot properly travel to the foot, which may also result in foot drop. Additionally, nerve damage can occur as a complication of surgery.
The most effective approach is to relieve pressure on the affected nerve. Adjusting posture and changing daily habits is often enough to manage mild foot drop. There are also various exercises that help train control and sensory awareness of the ankle and foot.
A physiotherapist from ProBrace can guide you. Most cases recover within two to three months, but in more severe cases, foot drop may be permanent. When weakness is severe or the foot is fully paralyzed, a combination of physiotherapy and a brace or orthosis is recommended.
A foot drop splint, brace, bandage or AFO helps prevent the foot from hanging during the swing phase of gait or slapping down during heel strike. Foot drop braces and soft bandages are used for mild weakness, while AFOs (ankle-foot orthoses) are intended for more severe foot drop, complex injuries or spasticity. Options range from simple to highly advanced:
