Foot Drop Countering Assembly
Invacare New Product IdeaSubmitted 3 years ago
atents2Market has a new client with a patent that I would like to introduce you to and discuss
partnering with us to do manufacturing, marketing and/or selling under a licensing agreement or private labeling.
The product is the Drop Foot - Foot Drop Countering Assembly.
The Foot Lifter Countering Assembly serves as a simple solution for Drop Foot, a serious lifelong inability to raise the front part of the foot due to weakness or paralysis of the muscles that lift the foot. As a result, individuals with drop foot scuff their toes along the ground or bend their knees to lift their foot higher than usual to avoid the scuffing.
This foot lifting device assists a person who suffers from drop foot by lifting the front portion of their foot upwardly such that it does not drag on the ground while the person is walking.
How it works:
An adjustable band extends around the person's leg right below or above the knee. The band can have various closures such as Velcro, snaps or buttons.
One end of a stretchable tether is attached to a second band which extends around the base of the foot upwardly toward the knee. The tether can be attached to a clip with prongs configured to thread through one or more shoelace holes for the same front foot lifting result.
Features and Benefits:
Avoids slips and falls of individual with drop foot
Worn under the pants and it is invisible
It is comfortable to wear
Holds the foot in a normal position, similar to a brace or splint
Can alleviate the need for a cane when walking and gives the wear more mobility
Can be manufactured out of various materials and multiple sizes
