OrthoActive FootFlexor Ankle Foot Orthosis - 5177

🔷 Product Overview

The OrthoActive FootFlexor Ankle Foot Orthosis 5177 is a lightweight dynamic ankle foot orthosis (AFO) designed to help improve mobility and walking confidence for individuals experiencing foot drop or conditions requiring dorsiflexion assistance. Engineered to work with most lace-up shoes and boots, the FootFlexor® system helps lift the toe during the gait cycle while allowing the foot to move more naturally during walking.

Using a tension cord system with hook-and-loop closure support, the orthosis assists with toe lift immediately after the initial gait swing, helping reduce toe dragging and improve walking efficiency. By supporting dorsiflexion and promoting safer gait mechanics, the FootFlexor® may help reduce the risk of trips and falls while improving everyday mobility and confidence.

Its low-profile comfortable design encourages daily wear compliance while maintaining compatibility with common footwear styles.
