Foot Drop Splint | Leaf-Spring AFO for Gait Support & Foot Drop

The Tynor Foot Drop Splint (D-17) is a leaf-spring ankle-foot orthosis (AFO) designed to assist with foot drop management — where the front of the foot cannot be lifted. Made from strong, durable polypropylene, its semi-rigid shell holds the foot in a neutral position to help stop the toes dragging and promote a more natural stepping motion and gait. The thin, sleek construction is designed to be worn inside most shoes, and the contours can be customised by a clinician for a precise fit. Available for the left or right foot in sizes S, M, L and XL.

Features

• Leaf spring action — Spring resilience adds bounce and assists toe clearance through the swing phase of walking, supporting a more natural gait.
• Semi-rigid polypropylene shell — Firm support and stability while holding the foot in a neutral position.
• Wearable inside the shoe — Thin, sleek construction fits discreetly inside most footwear.
• Anatomical footplate — Shaped to the foot for even weight distribution and comfortable positioning.
• Hook-and-loop reverse-buckle straps — Calf and ankle straps fasten securely for a snug, aligned fit.
• Heat-customisable contour — The shell can be fine-tuned with a hot air gun (by a clinician) for an individualised fit.

Intended Use

The Tynor Foot Drop Splint is intended to support and reposition the foot and ankle in the management of foot drop, under the direction of a qualified healthcare professional.

• Foot drop (difficulty lifting the front of the foot)
• Weakness or reduced control of the foot and ankle muscles
• Peroneal or pretibial nerve or muscle injury
• Foot drop associated with neurological or neuromuscular conditions

ⓘ Important: This is a maximum-support (5/5) foot-drop orthosis. Selection, fitting and any heat-moulding should be carried out under the guidance of a qualified healthcare professional. The splint is side-specific — please order the correct left or right foot.

Use under the guidance of a qualified healthcare professional. Ensure the straps are firm without restricting circulation.

How to Use

1. Hold the foot drop splint in an upright position.
2. Position the affected foot on the footplate, aligning it with the contours.
3. Tighten the calf strap using the reverse-buckle mechanism.
4. Fasten the ankle strap for proper alignment and grip.
5. Insert the foot and splint into a shoe — remove the laces or choose a slightly larger shoe for easy placement.
