YOU ARE NOT BROKEN; YOU ARE SIMPLY WALKING A DIFFERENT PATH.
We are a nonprofit organization dedicated to Foot Drop, which is a condition that makes it difficult to lift the front part of your foot. It often causes dragging, tripping, and fatigue.
It can result from nerve damage, spinal cord injury, stroke, MS, or trauma.
It is not rare. And it is not just “clumsiness.” Thank you for visiting our website and learning more about our cause.

A plain language roadmap for anyone newly prescribed an AFO (ankle-foot orthosis).No jargon. No guessing. Just the steps, questions, and red flags that help you walk out of your fitting confident and informed.
