NDIS Participant Support
The Tynor Foot Drop Splint (D-17) is a leaf-spring ankle-foot orthosis (AFO) designed to assist with foot drop management — where the front of the foot cannot be lifted. Made from strong, durable polypropylene, its semi-rigid shell holds the foot in a neutral position to help stop the toes dragging and promote a more natural stepping motion and gait. The thin, sleek construction is designed to be worn inside most shoes, and the contours can be customised by a clinician for a precise fit. Available for the left or right foot in sizes S, M, L and XL.
- Leaf spring action — Spring resilience adds bounce and assists toe clearance through the swing phase of walking, supporting a more natural gait.
- Semi-rigid polypropylene shell — Firm support and stability while holding the foot in a neutral position.
- Wearable inside the shoe — Thin, sleek construction fits discreetly inside most footwear.
- Anatomical footplate — Shaped to the foot for even weight distribution and comfortable positioning.
- Hook-and-loop reverse-buckle straps — Calf and ankle straps fasten securely for a snug, aligned fit.
- Heat-customisable contour — The shell can be fine-tuned with a hot air gun (by a clinician) for an individualised fit.
The Tynor Foot Drop Splint is intended to support and reposition the foot and ankle in the management of foot drop, under the direction of a qualified healthcare professional.
