Todd:

 

When I was in the hospital in June when I first contacted TM, my physical
therapist suggested I use an ankle support for my right ankle which is the
weakest.  I did for several months until I built up more strength and to
prevent my ankle from turning in.  I never wore it at night, just during the
day.  My physical therapist said I no longer need it, so I am not wearing it
presently.

 

Hope this helps.

Subject: [TMIC] Adjustable Ankle Stabilizer for drop foot

 


I saw a friend that had a light brake in his ankle wearing a adjustable
ankle stabilizer that he got from Wal-Mart for about $12.

 

I got one, it can be warn on the left or right ankle.  

It has really helped with my drop foot around the house.  

I want to be able to where all night long ( I started at 4 pm ), but my foot
burned so bad that at 1 am, I had to take it off.  

 

There is a smaller one that might be better with shoes for $8.

 

Has anyone else tried this & if so, how did it work for you?

 

Hope everyone is having a BETTER day,

Todd in CC, TX
