Dictus Band helps those suffering from Drop Foot to raise their foot directly after toeoff - eliminating everyday obstructions such as doorsteps, carpets and pavements. The Dictus Band is a different concept from other braces. Where the normal standard A.F.O. - which are non-flexible - holds the foot straight to stop the foot dropping, the Dictus Band uses a spring action with the rubber band and hook. This gives a more natural action and as a side benefit allows a person to do things that would be impossible with a polyethylene A.F.O. (i.e.: drive a car with their right foot) The rubber band - the active part of the orthosis - on the Dictus Band helps keep the front of the foot in an upward position. When a person puts their foot on the ground, the rubber band helps raise the toes. Dictus Indoor provides support when the user is moving about indoors or without shoes. NOTE: You must have the Outdoor Dictus Band to correctly use the Indoor Dictus Band For indoor use Available in left or rightErimed
