velcro straps for footdrop

February 6, 2006

Chuck,

Wondering if you have checked into of these suppliers near you?

This is a good source list. I found 3 places in Arizona for you to

check into - listed below. If you still can't get what you need, maybe

some of the Calif sources could help OR, this is just a thought, but

could a simple shoemaker/shoe repair person make you the straps if you

explained what you need? ~ Gretchen

Chuck,

Two things come to mind. One you can get ankle joints that will help with

footdrop. One is called a gillette joint. They are made in 3 strengths based on

how much assist you need. And two, you can try metal braces. They can have

Klensak joints that will help with footdrop. They have springs in them to give

you the assist you need. I have both and prefer the metal braces. I don't know

about any velcro straps that would help. The other two solutions will work. I am

at im at cockerham_2000 if you want to talk.

Bob
