Silicone Ankle Foot Orthosis (SAFO)
A Drop Foot solution for conditions such as Charcot Marie Tooth (CMT), Stroke, Multiple Sclerosis (MS), and Spinal Cord Injury (SCI).
Drop Foot affects thousands of lives, but it does not have to limit yours. At Dorset Orthopaedic, we have spent the past 25 years helping individuals reclaim their mobility with our award-winning SAFO (Silicone Ankle Foot Orthosis).
The SAFO is a revolutionary product specifically designed for the treatment of Drop Foot, a neurological disorder that affects the muscles responsible for lifting the foot. Drop Foot is most commonly caused due to damage to the nerves or muscles responsible for lifting the foot and can be caused by a whole host of conditions including multiple sclerosis (MS), Stroke, Charcot Marie Tooth (CMT), Spinal Cord Injury (SCI), plus many others.
Unlike traditional AFOs, the SAFO's support is over front of the leg to the top of the foot, helping to lift the foot while walking. Its flexible, thin sole ensures all-day comfort, even allowing you to walk barefoot. Plus, made from waterproof silicone, it's ideal for use while swimming, showering, or bathing. A SAFO is easy to put on and take off, plus every SAFO can be fully customised to show off your unique style or be made as inconspicuous as possible by colour matching to your skin tones.
Thousands of people suffer with Drop Foot every day and here at Dorset Orthopaedic, our award-winning solutions can free you from debilitating walking difficulties caused by Drop Foot.
