Who is the Boxia® Plus Drop Foot AFO suitable for?
It is designed for people with flaccid foot drop who require adjustable dorsiflexion assistance during walking. Its one-handed fitting system may be particularly useful where reduced hand function or one-sided weakness makes a standard brace difficult to apply.

What is the difference between Boxia® and Boxia® Plus?
Both provide lightweight elastic dorsiflexion assistance for flaccid foot drop. The Boxia® Plus is specifically designed to make fitting easier with one hand and uses an adjustable central anchoring system and additional attachment options. Orthotix Healthcare

How does the elastic traction system work?
The adjustable elastic band provides upward traction to help lift the forefoot during the swing phase of walking, supporting toe clearance.

Can I fit the Boxia® Plus using one hand?
Yes. The Plus version is specifically designed to simplify one-handed application, although ease of fitting will still depend on individual mobility, balance and dexterity. Orthotix Healthcare

Will it fit any footwear?
No. The support requires secure, compatible footwear that can hold the attachment correctly. Trainers and other securely fastened shoes are generally more suitable than loose, backless or unstable footwear. Orthotix Healthcare

Can I wear it throughout the day?
Wear time depends on individual needs, skin tolerance and any clinical advice provided. Remove the device and check the skin if you develop persistent redness, rubbing, pain, numbness or irritation.

Is the Boxia® Plus suitable for every type of foot drop?
No. A more structured AFO may be required where there is significant spasticity, fixed deformity, severe ankle instability, strong inward turning of the foot or significant knee-control problems. Orthotix Healthcare

Does the Boxia® Plus contain latex?
Yes. The current product information states that it contains latex. Orthotix Healthcare

When should foot drop be professionally assessed?
Seek assessment if foot drop is new, worsening or unexplained, or is associated with significant weakness, numbness, pain or balance problems. A brace can assist foot clearance but does not treat the underlying cause.
