Boxia® Drop Foot AFO

Lightweight, Low-Profile Design – Provides dynamic foot drop support without the bulk of a traditional rigid footplate.

Adjustable Dorsiflexion Assistance – Elastic traction can be adjusted to provide the level of forefoot lift required during walking.

Dual-Component System – Uses an ankle cuff with an external footwear attachment to provide adjustable support while taking up minimal space inside the shoe.

Breathable Perforated Cuff – Perforated construction helps improve ventilation around the ankle during wear.

Padded Contact Areas – Cushioned sections are positioned to improve comfort around the ankle and Achilles region.

Minimal In-Shoe Bulk – The support sits primarily outside the footwear, leaving more room inside the shoe compared with a conventional rigid AFO.

Flaccid foot drop where dorsiflexion assistance is required to help improve forefoot lift and toe clearance during walking.

Who is the Boxia® Drop Foot AFO suitable for?

The Boxia® Drop Foot AFO is designed for flaccid foot drop where dorsiflexion assistance is required to help lift the forefoot during walking. Where foot drop is new, unexplained or associated with significant spasticity, instability or other neurological symptoms, professional assessment is recommended.

How does the Boxia® Drop Foot AFO work?

An adjustable elastic traction strap provides dorsiflexion assistance during the swing phase of walking, helping to lift the forefoot and improve toe clearance.

Does the Boxia® fit inside footwear?

The Boxia® uses a low-profile ankle cuff with an external connection to suitable footwear. Unlike many traditional rigid AFOs, it does not use a full-length footplate inside the shoe, helping to minimise in-shoe bulk.

Can the level of support be adjusted?

Yes. The elastic traction can be adjusted to alter the amount of dorsiflexion assistance provided. The support should be adjusted to achieve suitable forefoot lift without excessive tension or discomfort.

Can the Boxia® be worn throughout the day?

The lightweight, perforated construction is designed for comfortable everyday use where appropriate. Wear time will depend on individual needs, skin tolerance and clinical advice. The device should be removed and checked if it causes pain, rubbing, numbness or skin irritation.

Can the Boxia® be used on either foot?

The Boxia® system can be configured for left- or right-sided use where appropriate. Follow the product fitting instructions to ensure the traction attachment is positioned correctly.

Is the Boxia® suitable for sport or exercise?

The Boxia® is primarily intended to assist walking and everyday mobility. Suitability for sport, running or higher-impact activity will depend on the individual, footwear and underlying cause of foot drop and should be discussed with an appropriate healthcare professional where necessary.

When should I seek professional advice about foot drop?

Seek assessment if foot drop is new, worsening or unexplained, or if it is associated with significant weakness, numbness, pain, balance problems or other neurological symptoms. A support such as the Boxia® can assist foot clearance but does not address the underlying cause of foot drop.
