Tom came to us after a traumatic orthopedic injury that resulted in Drop Foot. He wanted something that was easy to slip on and agreed to try out our latest version called the Easy-On Step-Smart Brace. Here are his initial reactions!
The Easy-On Step-Smart Brace comes connected to the Sketchers Slip-ins: After Burn M. Fit- Ridgeburn shoes in grey/black. Notice how the I-strap falls away nicely, allowing for direct foot insertion.
In this video Ian will show you how the Compression Component Kit works for the Step-Smart Brace for Drop Foot. The “bumpers” provided with the Step-Smart Brace allow you to adjust the level of shock absorption you feel at heel strike, putting you in control.
Ian explains how the design of The Step-Smart Brace for Drop Foot is to be modular, so that many of the components can be replaced, as needed, after a long period of wearing it.
In this weeks blog, we demonstrate the AFO strategy used by Insightful to attach the AFO or ankle brace to the shoe using Velcro. The foot and ankle brace is attached to the shoe using hook and loop pile. By attaching the ankle brace to the shoe, the unit becomes one. All of Insightful’s bracing is designed to work with a shoe and not without a shoe. Fastening the brace to the shoe makes it easier to don the brace or to put the brace on but also keeps the brace placed back in the heel of the shoe. This keeps the brace from creeping forward in the shoe and using up space in the shoe.
In this video Ian talks about the top cover for the Step-Smart brace and wither you should get on when purchasing your Insightful Products Step-Smart Brace for Drop Foot.
In this video, Ian Engleman demonstrates how our drop foot technology can provide better treatment by providing more accurate traction on the calf. If the portion of the AFO (called the calf section) is moving either medially or laterally off the leg, the drop foot AFO brace can be adjusted using a longer tensor that comes free of charge.
In this video Ian Engelman will explain why you would want to use Uneven Tensors with your Step-Smart® Brace.
The Foot Funnel shoehorn is a “dressing aid ” or shoe aid and is an alternative to the long-handled shoehorn and makes shoe donning easier for those that have trouble bending, twisting and reaching.
