    My foot drop will NEVER get better because of MS. I HATED the Medicare issued AFO brace because not only did the brace cause discomfort, I was limited to what shoes I could wear (usually two sizes larger than my true size and in wide width to accommodate the AFO). I finally saved enough cash to buy the Saebo brace since watching this video last year. Night and day for comparison. My gait is the same BUT without the bulkiness. And shoes that are my size! It felt weird at first, however, my leg and foot were finally comfortable. Even though I still use a cane, I appreciate Bob and Brad for showing something I never knew existed.
    PEACE

    I had a stroke on February 17, 2022. I have used the Saebo brace on my left foot for approximately two months. You may need assistance with the initial setup, but it is easy to put on. This brace works best for someone with an active lifestyle and you don't have balancing issues. It feels more natural because nothing is inserted inside your shoe. If you have issues with your ankle rolling in or out, I would recommend a more stable AFO like the plastic brace in the video. I also have a carbon fiber AFO that I alternate with my Sabeo brace.
    The only issue I have with my Saebo brace is that the brace will slide down my ankle with my sock throughout my day because I have skinny ankles. The strings that pulls my toes up will also loosen when the brace slides down my ankle. Therefore, I have to tightened it repeatedly to raise my toes enough to clear the ground when I walk.

    I had Guillain Barre disease 3 years ago. It compromised both my legs and arms and hands.
    For my legs I had been wearing the white braces in different shapes; from the really thick ones to the more thin and flexible model.
    In fact, probably by the end of this week I will be getting a new model, similar to one called Comfit AFO , made by a swedish firm called Embreis.
    Mine is being made of fiberglass. We hope it's going to come up as thin and also as flexible as if it were made out of carbon fiber.
    My goal is to be able to wear it everyday with my normal footware and be able to walk and even drive my car with them on.
    Normally at home or work I don't require them. But when it comes to go out on the street and walk long distances I definitely require them.
    I will let you know if they work for me.
    Very nice instructive videos. I appreciate it then a lot. Thank you both for your help.

    Welander distal myopathy is also a source of foot drop. Usually you see the hands curling in first tho. Most often the first sign is not being able to erect your middle finger straight. My dad became symptomatic 40 years ago at 37. (Only in my families world can you get a rare disease you can't even flip the bird at. LOL )

    I’m an RN who didn’t realize I had loss of feeling in my foot or foot drop until laying in bed and realized I couldn’t dorsiflex my foot. We don’t know why I have it. I did have L4-5 surgery last fall but had a CT and they say no impingement. No stroke, it’s weird. But I had a hip injury (torn labrum, torn gluteus medius and minimus and a horrible bursitis) and I rolled my ankle anf\d fractured it. So I was in a boot. Then I fell two more times thinking it was the hip until I realized I was stubbing my toe, and the other day I ended up with a spiral fracture in my 5th metatarsal. I’m still trying to figure it out, and have kegs scheduled but I’m only 60 and very bummed that I may have to live with this forever. Also have a boot on each leg for fractures because of it! Darn. 💩

    I developed left foot drop following a bilateral fasciotomy on my left calf after having a heart probe inserted in the left groin and developing compartment syndrome . The post-op care was seriously screwed up. Rehab did not fully correct the problem, and my gait has been off for the past 15 years. I have the pelvic lift gait typical of foot drop sufferers. I don't use any prosthetics and I manage without a cane. However, I can't hurry up, jump or run. I am 71 now, so, not likely to regain any losses.

    I have MS and have drop foot. Even though I have flex in my ankle, I can’t lift my toes when walking which cause me to stumble and trip. I tried the Stable Step and it hurts my angle. I did pay a lot of money for a Walk Aid device but find the electric shock it gives that helps lift my toes can be uncomfortable. The Smart Step brace works the best so far.

After a stroke, I spent allot of time trying to treat foot drop when I actually had spasticity and it was never treated until 2 years after my stroke. There is a huge difference between the two and they are treated very differently. Best to find out what your condition is before treating.

    Wow. This is awesome. I have had foot drop for almost 3 decades, practically my normal gait since I got used to it. I had a surgery for it wen i was 5 or 6yo. I do not know if i was born with it or not bc no one present when I was born is still living in a human body so I cant even get a clear explanation, just speculations from those who saw me growin up. So as a close to 40yo, can the saebostep be of help ? I have never controlled my toes on my affected foot in this life . And I feel stiffness when I walk or when I lie down to sleep or practically anything that has to put the foot to action. Is there any help I can get. If I am sober and its bedtime, it takes upto 5 hours to catch the first glimse of dizziness due to the tensions in my affected foot. The nightime situation in particular is really what worries me, for it keeps me up till early morning and when I have lost all energy then it softens, then i can catch a 2-3 hrs sleep which usually starts from around 6:30 in the morning. Any suggestion or questions will be welcome

    Hi, I had a stroke twelve years ago that left me with foot drop in my left foot...I have not tried any of the braces, etc. but this looks promising. However I am contemplating the perispinal etanercept procedure, just liquid embrel injected in the base of the spine while the head is inverted. The Mayo clinic is one of but a few clinics that administer this procedure, the other being the two physicians who patented the procedure and thus too costly for most over the seven year patented period. My question is has anyone had the procedure and did it work, usually within minutes of the injection.

    I recently had a stroke at 36 and suffer from foot drop I had an AFO made, but it is extremely hard to get in my shoe because of how bulky it is basically I just wanted to thank you for introducing this. I believe it will be a game changer for me. I like that you can wear any pair of sneakers and I don’t have to take over 30 minutes and require assistance to put it on. What do you recommend for wearing when you don’t have shoes on? My toes constantly scraping the ground or my foot gets caught on carpets or anything anything with a lip.

    I have “flop foot” where I can’t control the deceleration of my dorsiflexion when I walk. The result is the ball of my foot slaps down. Now the ball of my foot is always swollen. I addition my big toe is overcompensating to help with the acceleration of dorsiflexion, resulting in a sore under the toenail of my big foot. I tried an afo device but it does not help with the deceleration phase. Do you know of any devise that I could try to alleviate some of my problems.

      Maybe, it depends on what the problem is. If you can talk to your dr about physical therapy. If not I've been using resistance bands to help strengthen the muscles there. I still have to use one for work or whenever I'm going to be walking long time but I dont for shorter trips anymore. I have a degenerative nerve disorder so eventually I'll have to use them all the time (basically wont be able to tell my foot to lift) but strengthen them as much as possible should delay it
