This device is used for a condition known as foot drop, which occurs when a condition or injury causes a disruption in the messages sent by the nerves to the leg muscles, causing the foot to drag while walking.

Deep Vein Thrombosis
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot that forms in a deep vein, usually in the leg. DVT can cause pain and swelling in the affected area and can also lead to serious health complications such as pulmonary embolism. Symptoms of DVT may include swelling, pain, and warmth in the affected area. In some cases, there may be no symptoms at all. It is important to seek medical attention if you suspect you have DVT, as prompt treatment can prevent serious complications.
Compression Therapy
Compression wear or compression garments are pieces of clothing (like sleeves, socks, stockings, etc.) that are worn by people who stand for long periods of time or have poor blood circulation. There are different types of compression garments. The ones with a higher degree of compression require a doctor’s prescription. Compression garments are also worn to treat deep vein thrombosis and reduce swelling in the limbs.
Scoliosis
Scoliosis is a spinal condition characterized by an abnormal lateral curvature (to the side) of the spine. Individuals diagnosed with scoliosis may have a spine that curves sideways, forming an “S” or “C” shape instead of maintaining a straight alignment. When viewed from the side, the upper back will likely show mild roundness with a degree of swayback (inward curvature) in the lower back. This condition often develops during childhood but can also occur during adulthood.
Spina Bifida
Spina bifida is a developmental congenital disorder wherein the embryonic neural tube is incompletely closed. The vertebrae outside the spinal cord are not fully formed and remain un-fused and open. This causes a portion of the spinal cord to jut out through the opening in the bones. Sometimes, a fluid-filled sac surrounds the spinal cord. Other defects include anencephaly, a condition wherein a portion of the neural tube that is the cerebrum does not close, and encephalocele, wherein other parts of the brain remain un-fused.
