DICTUS Foot Support Outdoor Orthosis for Drop Foot Mobility

The DICTUS Foot Support Outdoor Orthosis is designed for individuals with drop foot, promoting a natural toe-off and improved gait during outdoor activities. This adjustable band-based device works with most lace-up shoes or sneakers, offering a practical alternative to rigid ankle braces.

• Active lifting mechanism: A rubber band provides upward front-foot support to assist toe clearance after toe-off.
• Adjustable lift strength: Lift level is controlled by the distance between the D-ring and the shoelace hooks, allowing customization to suit your needs.
• Footwear compatibility: Designed to fit with any lace-up shoe or sneaker, making it easy to wear daily.
• Left/right control: Position the band on the right or left side of the shoelace to influence inversion or eversion as needed.
• Non-rigid design: Uses a spring-based mechanism for a more natural movement compared with rigid AFOs.
• Outdoor mobility: Helps navigate doorsteps, carpets, and pavements by improving toe-off clearance on every step.

The Dictus Band focuses on real-world usability: it works with your ordinary footwear, offers adjustable lift, and supports a natural walking pattern. By elevating the front of the foot during each step, it aims to reduce foot-dragging and enhance confidence when moving outdoors.
