ABSTRACT:
The Toe Lift Strap is a foot support system primarily for stroke victims that do not have muscular control of their foot. This loss of muscular control allows the foot to turn under and they cannot raise their toe. It comprises of a strap that is attached to the user just below the knee. This strap has a small loop to which a 6″ wide therapeutic rubber band is attached. The other end of the 6″ wide therapeutic rubber band is attached to the lower lace area or lower strap of a shoe worn by the user. It provides for support of the toe and rotation of the foot so that the user can walk with the foot in a normal position for walking.
