AFO vs. Foot Drop Brace - Sue's SaeboStep Testimonial

Walk smarter with confidence and comfort.

The SaeboStep foot drop brace is a lightweight, uniquely designed foot drop brace/soft AFO designed to replace uncomfortable, stiff, or bulky splints that go inside the shoe.
Can be worn with the majority of male or female shoe styles by ordering the accessory kit to enable footwear without eyelets to be modified (even on sandals!).
Fully adjustable and designed to provide a comfortable yet secure fit for most users – comfortably fits an ankle circumference between 6.5 inches and 11 inches.
Made with Spectra Cords crafted from a very high molecular density form of polyethylene, making it the most long-lasting option for this foot drop brace. With standard use, the cords can be expected to last up to a year (replacement cords available to order).
Revolutionary dial located on the ankle strap allows for quick and easy customization of the foot lift angle required for safe clearance. Release the tension as needed with a simple dial turn.

FAQs

How is the SaeboStep better than an AFO or foot drop brace I can purchase on Amazon?

Many recovery products available on Amazon are inexpensive, but lack several key qualities that make them unreliable. For example, they cannot be applied one-handed, they inadequately lift the toes to promote walking with foot drop, they’re not sturdy enough to support the foot/ankle, and they wear out quickly. The SaeboStep offers all of the benefits that are typically lacking in these ineffective budget products, while remaining durable enough for daily use.

Does the SaeboStep come with Eyelet Hook Kit?

The SaeboStep comes with two pairs of eyelet hooks. We recommend ordering additional eyelet hook kits with your SaeboStep so you always have a back up and so you can get them for 20% off!

What shoes does the SaeboStep work best with for foot drop?

The SaeboStep is unique in that it can be worn with nearly all shoe styles and still help patients manage their foot drop. Whether it’s sneakers, hiking boots, dress shoes or sandals (yes, even sandals!) the outside shoe design makes it a comfortable brace for any shoe. To wear the SaeboStep with shoes without eyelets, order the crop-a-dile along with the eyelet accessory kit to pair the device with your favorite shoe!

Is this the best foot drop brace for running?

Running with foot drop depends on the severity of your symptoms and the amount of hours you dedicate to rehab each week. However, we have seen a number of SaeboStep users run with foot drop while wearing the device. Traditional AFOs are often rigid and restrictive, making it hard to run while wearing. The SaeboStep is a soft, non bulky option that you can run with when you are at that phase of your recovery.

Stylish. Safe. Sturdy.

Indications

The SaeboStep is designed for individuals that have had injuries that result in:

Limited lower extremity movement and function leading to difficulty raising the foot.
Ankle/foot weakness.
Decreased foot sensation leading to decreased coordination.

Contraindications

Clients that may not be appropriate for the SaeboStep typically exhibit one or more of the below:

Severe joint deformities in the foot or ankle.
Moderate tightness or greater in the foot and ankle.
Moderate spasticity or greater in the foot and ankle.
Moderate or severe swelling in the foot and ankle.
Open wounds.
Limited hand function with no caregiver support; therefore, applying the device may be challenging.

No Laces. No Problem.

SaeboStep can even be worn comfortably with the majority of male or female shoe styles. Therefore, you are not limited to certain shoes. Individuals can use their favorite shoes by ordering the accessory kit to enable shoes without eyelets to be modified.

Foot Drop. What is it and how does it affect your recovery?

Foot drop, also known as dropped foot or drop foot, is the inability to raise the front part of the foot due to weakness or paralysis of the muscles that lift the foot (National Institute of Neurological Disorders). Consequentially, people who have foot drop scuff their toes along the ground; they may also bend their knees to lift their foot higher than usual to avoid the scuffing, which causes what is called a "steppage" gait.
