What Is Foot Drop and Why RehabStride™ Works Better
Foot drop prevents your foot from lifting during the swing phase of your gait, leading to toe dragging, tripping, and compensatory hip hiking. Traditional AFOs may keep your foot in place, but they often limit ankle mobility, feel bulky, or require expensive special footwear.
RehabStride™ redefines foot drop support by combining a dynamic tension system with true ankle mobility—allowing your foot to engage naturally during every step. The result? A smoother, more biomechanically correct gait that supports rehabilitation and confidence.
How It Works
1. Adjustable Tension for Personalized Lift
Unlike one-size-fits-all braces, the RehabStride™ AFO features a tension dial that lets you increase or decrease dorsiflexion support in real time. Whether you’re navigating stairs, uneven ground, or walking indoors, you stay in control of your brace’s function.
2. Universal Shoe Compatibility
No need to buy new footwear. This AFO fits into most everyday shoes—sneakers, walking shoes, and even some slip-ons—thanks to its low-profile, ergonomic design.
3. Facilitates Natural Push-Off
Torque optimization technology allows energy to build during ankle movement and release at toe-off, assisting push-off phase without locking your ankle.
Who Can Benefit?
The RehabStride™ AFO brace is ideal for individuals experiencing:
-
Foot drop from stroke, MS, or neuropathy
-
Weakness following orthopedic surgery or ankle trauma
-
Peroneal nerve palsy or incomplete spinal cord injury
-
Fatigue or instability while walking with a rigid AFO
No prescription is required. RehabStride™ is a self-adjustable medical-grade brace that supports recovery and lifestyle function.

Absolutely life-changing! This AFO Brace has been a true blessing for my grandmother, who has been dealing with the challenges of Ankle Foot Orthosis. Since she started using RehabStride, her mobility has improved significantly. The personalized tension-adjustable cable system ensures a perfect fit, providing the support she needs for a more natural gait. It’s heartwarming to see her walk with confidence and without the limitations she once faced.
The seamless integration into different shoes makes it incredibly convenient for her daily activities, and the innovative approach to stride improvement has brought back the joy of walking effortlessly. RehabStride has not only been a physical aid but also a source of empowerment, giving my grandmother the freedom to move and enjoy life to the fullest. Grateful for this remarkable solution that has truly made a positive impact on her quality of life. Highly recommend it to anyone seeking effective and empowering Ankle Foot Orthosis support!

I was very fortunate to come across RehabStride AFO thorough my physical therapist at Gramercy Physical Therapy. My first AFO was large and heavy. I tried others but also did not deliver as promised.
Unlike other AFO braces that are hard to get used to, RehabStride AFO adapts to your specific needs. It is lightweight, compatible with most footwear and most important has a tension adjustable system that allows customization. I love how without effort, it fits with my shoes and facilitates ankle movement. The Telehealth service was great, providing me with a free onboarding session for instructions. My walking has improved significantly, allowing more freedom. Check all Google reviews

I suffered a drop foot in October and was dragging my left foot for months. Physical therapy didn’t help much and I was lost. After starting RehabStride, I was gradually able to regain strength and function of my left foot. I’m not able to walk all day with much less pain, and it has changed my life. Thank you!

As a healthcare professional, I’ve seen a lot of braces over the year but I have to say, the RehabStride AFO really stands out. We got it for my dad, and the difference has been incredible. He’s walking more confidently and moving around with so much more ease. What really sets this brace apart from others we’ve tried is the adjustable tension and how well it fits with any type of shoe. It’s made a real impact, and I genuinely recommend it to anyone looking for a better AFO solution. Check all Google reviews
