摘要:
Ankle-foot orthotics are used by many people suffering from foot drop. Some are applied to the foot and then inserted into standard footwear. They present many disadvantages. Alternatively, the orthotic is external causing extra attention to the orthotic. Disclosed herein is an ankle-foot orthotic (AFO) that is integrated into a boot. The AFO is less obvious and the boot material is in contact with the wearers foot rather than the orthotic itself. A calf plate hinged with a sole plate are inserted into the shoe, as well as a member in tension biasing the foot toward dorsiflexion.
