Tynor Foot Drop Splint D17 Child | Leaf Spring Gait Correction AFO

• Leaf spring action — Spring resilience adds bounce and assists toe clearance through the swing phase, helping improve gait.
• Semi-rigid polypropylene shell — Firm support and stability while holding the foot in a neutral, dorsiflexed position.
• Wearable inside the shoe — Thin, lightweight construction fits discreetly inside most children's footwear.
• Anatomical footplate — Shaped for even weight distribution and comfortable positioning.
• Hook-and-loop reverse-buckle straps — Secure, easy-to-adjust fastening for a snug fit.
• Optional padded liner — The with-liner version adds a soft, hypoallergenic, latex-free foam lining for extra comfort against the skin.

ⓘ Important: This is a maximum-correction (5/5) paediatric foot-drop orthosis. Selection, sizing, fitting and any customisation must be carried out under the guidance of a qualified healthcare professional. The splint is side-specific — please order the correct left or right foot, and choose the with-liner or without-liner version as advised.

Use under the guidance of a qualified healthcare professional. Ensure the straps are firm without restricting circulation.

1. Hold the foot drop splint in an upright position.
2. Position the child's affected foot on the footplate, aligning it with the contours.
3. Tighten the calf strap using the reverse-buckle mechanism.
4. Fasten the ankle strap for proper alignment and grip.
5. Insert the foot and splint into a shoe — remove the laces or choose a slightly larger shoe for easy placement.
6. Re-tighten the laces and let the child walk.
