Boxia® Tension Strap

Description

Boxia® Tension Strap

Restore the performance of your Boxia® Drop Foot AFO with the Boxia® Tension Strap. Specifically designed for the Boxia® orthosis, this replacement elastic strap provides the adjustable dorsiflexion assistance needed to help lift the foot during walking, reducing the risk of trips and falls caused by foot drop.

Over time, elastic components naturally lose tension through everyday use. Replacing the tension strap allows you to maintain the correct level of support without needing to replace your entire orthosis, making it a simple and cost-effective way to keep your Boxia® AFO performing at its best.

The elastic strap can be adjusted to provide the right amount of foot lift for your individual needs, helping to improve walking efficiency while maintaining comfort throughout the day. Whether you’re replacing a worn strap or purchasing a spare for peace of mind, the Boxia® Tension Strap ensures your orthosis continues to deliver reliable support.

• Adjustable elastic tension to assist dorsiflexion

What is Foot Drop?

Foot drop is a condition that makes it difficult to lift the front part of the foot while walking. This can cause the toes to drag along the ground or result in a higher-than-normal stepping motion to avoid tripping.

Foot drop isn’t a condition itself but is usually the result of an underlying neurological or muscular problem. Common causes include:

• Stroke
• Multiple sclerosis (MS)
• Peripheral nerve injuries
• Muscular dystrophy
• Cerebral palsy
• Spinal injuries
• Peroneal nerve damage

An ankle-foot orthosis (AFO), such as the Boxia® Drop Foot AFO, helps lift the foot during walking, improving safety, reducing the risk of trips and falls, and promoting a more natural gait. Keeping your orthosis in good condition by replacing worn components, such as the hook pads, helps ensure it continues to provide effective support.
