Orthotics for running? I've been seeing many AFO's coming out of the VA for people with drop foot. Do you like yours and why?

[deedeedah]

Post a pic of your AFO Did you use an orthotist to be fitted? How long has it lasted? Your pros and cons?

Hiya deedeedah my afos have the pad in the front and Velcro around the back. They come from Hanger. hangerclinic.com/Pages/defa...

I like them but I'm switching to Kenu s when they break! 🤣😂

I have 2. I have the one that fit in the shoe which I was fitted with by an orthotist they replace the velco when needed it was my first. I use it when I'm in the house.

Then I have the bioness . Which you have to be fitted for and they adjust it for free. I wear when I'n outside.

[deedeedah in reply to rjoneslaw]

Di you get the Bioness through the orthotist? How much are they?

[rjoneslaw in reply to deedeedah]

you can but I got it directly from the company. It's best to get it from the company. The rep from the company would be the one to fit you anyway so just deal with them directly no need for a middle man

[deedeedah in reply to rjoneslaw]

How much?

[rjoneslaw in reply to deedeedah]

depends on what u get.

[deedeedah in reply to rjoneslaw]

I don't have insurance. What's the price range? Do you have to have certain abilities to be a candidate for Bioness?

[rjoneslaw in reply to deedeedah]

they determine what is best for u. u just need 2 be able 2 walk

I'm not able 2 give a range because the re are new systems and they're priced different for each piece u get.

my insurance paid for mine
