Re: Toe Off brace problems?

[Guest guest]

Robin,

Yes, I had the same problem. They are not strong enough at the ankle area for

the amount of pressure we put on in. I only weighed 108 pounds when I had them

and certainly was not doing anything strenous. It is the way we get up from

chairs and up steps that put the pressure down at the footplate, just not strong

enough. Otherwise, I love them!

Jackie,

Thanks for your input. What king of braces are you wearing now? My

othotist suggests the Blue Rocker or going up one size in the Toe Offs

and cutting down the foot plate. The BR is very stiff and not too

comfortable. I get replacements next week. I opted for triming down

the larger size toe off. Hoping for the best.
