Could OrthoPed be appropriate for your patient?

OrthoPed is not intended to replace every form of foot drop orthosis.

Clinical assessment remains essential and suitability will depend on factors including strength, range of movement, muscle tone, stability, foot position and individual requirements.

Where clinically appropriate, OrthoPed provides an additional, accessible option to consider within existing care pathways.
