The newly redesigned Original AFO Assist is a multiple, international award winning activity of daily living adaptive dressing aid that facilitates putting on an ankle foot orthosis (AFO; ankle\/foot brace that is worn to prevent foot drop) and shoe. This unique dressing aid was created by an occupational therapist to help patients regain their dressing independence and reduce the need of a caregiver for this dressing task. People all over the world who need to wear an AFO to safely walk are finding The Original AFO Assist to be the most innovative activity of daily living product not only for stroke survivors but also for people with Cerebral Palsy, Multiple Sclerosis and other conditions that cause neurological impairments. Stroke patients as well as patients who present with impaired motor skills, trunk flexibility concerns, or a variety of other medical conditions often have difficulty holding an AFO in an upright and stable position when attempting to place their foot into the brace. This task is even more challenging if they only have the use of one hand. The Original AFO Assist is designed to support both pediatric and adult sized AFOs. The user can put on their AFO while sitting up in a chair or while lying in bed. To put on their shoe, the client places the AFO Assist Shoe Platform against a wall, places their shoe on the Platform, inserts the Foot Funnel onto the heel of the shoe, and then slides their foot (with the AFO on) into the shoe. Pull the string to remove the Foot Funnel and get ready to safely walk!<\/p>\n
