ABSTRACT:
A foot support will assist individuals with weakness or paralysis of dorsiflexion and eversion of the foot and extension of the toes, the condition commonly referred to as "foot drop." The foot support has a quilted, cushioned center piece and pouch forming a pocket for receiving the front of the user's foot. Straps affixed to each side of the quilted cushioned center piece extend across the dorsum of the user's foot, beneath the ankle and then around the distal to mid-leg of the user where they are secured by hook-and-loop fasteners. The foot support is sufficiently thin such that it can be positioned within the user's shoe.
