A revolution in custom AFO bracing

A foot drop AFO built for normal life

Foot drop describes an injury where you can no longer lift your foot up effectively when walking. An ankle foot orthosis (AFO) is usually used to take the place of the muscles and enable you to get back to life as usual.

A revolution in custom AFO bracing

TurboMed is a specialist in foot drop AFOs. The XTERN AFOs don’t just enable you to walk but are optimised to allow you to run too, with less effort than conventional AFOs.

What makes our product the best drop foot brace on the market?

Foot drop is a real limitation for whoever has the condition. As such, experts recommend a rehabilitation program with an AFO brace for foot drop. Trust in us to help you find the orthotic that will absolutely be right for you.

Our lead designer actually suffers from foot drop. Faced with this disability, the engineer, who specialises in mechanical design, has delved into research. That was how he found the orthotic that guaranteed he could get back to normal quickly.

He then decided to dedicate his professional life to supporting everyone suffering from foot drop, just like he has. That's why we can guarantee our product is the best foot drop brace on the market.

Maximising functionality & comfort

The brace snaps in a lace clip attached to each shoe. Alternate methods of fixation are also possible.

The brace transfers from shoe to shoe in seconds. Due to its fixing outside the shoe, this results in no more oversizing of footwear to accommodate in-shoe bracing
