I just had the F1 of AFO's ordered (medical bs)

Recap, i have drop foot after my wreck 2 summers ago, it hurts to walk and waring a afo (Ankle-foot orthoses) makes it hurt even more so i walk with my limpy foot drop and live with the pain and run like a tard.

Just got a phone call that i'm getting a new afo that i will be able to run and jump in unlike the plastic torcher device i have now.

this is the hosbital isue afo

what i'm getting, the fact that the guy can jump on the bench with his bad foot and rotate his foot is the wow moment(for people you people with out disabilities)

Pretty cool. It looks similar to what amputees wear. Hopefully, it will not bother your shin or calf muscle too much since they will be supporting the weight.

I'm amazed that kid isn't giggling like a schoolgirl. That is a remarkable improvement. You can tell he's not 100% used to it yet even.

Hope the large fits better.

Grats.
