    Thank you I use it after my stroke but never knew it’s name. It works for walking, but not for mobilizing the muscle or nerve.

    You should do a review for the Saebo device, it's similar to this one but a lot simpler.

    Melts my brain that you need shoes with laces. Foot rdrp often happens often after a stroke where your arm is affected as well. Chances are that you are done with tying laces for the rest of your days. Good luck with this product.

    • @DoctorGretchenHawley
      @DoctorGretchenHawley  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      This can be true, of course! But, for those with other diagnoses who experience foot drop, or even those who's arms were not affected from stroke, this could be helpful still☺️ Also, there are shoes such as Kizik shoes who have the laces and are hands free so you just slip your foot in, but still are able to utilize a product like this.

    Dr I have been suffered of foot drop 2weeks back,I consult with Neuro physician and rheumatology, now I'm on medication and physiotherapy..I'm feeling much improved as it was due to local injury during muscle stretch, thanks God not due to spinal or brain injury... So how much chances of recovery whether 100,% recovery possible or not as it is due to local injury in MRI revealed

  • @charlesmarshall8731
    @charlesmarshall8731 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Interesting video thanks, Dr Gretchen. I have avoided such devices before as I understood if you dont continue to try to improve/strengthen the muscle on your shin then it becomes weaker with lack of use due to the assistance. I currently dont wear a Dictus band and have some action in my ankles , but find i can trip due to foot drop if not paying attention. What are your thoughts on the above re the Dictus band possibly causing weakness by over assisting the muscle responsible for lifting your foot

    • @DoctorGretchenHawley
      @DoctorGretchenHawley  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I definitely recommend still continuing strengthening exercises for the ankle, practiced w/o an assistive device on, because you do not want to train your brain that the movement of lifting the toes cannot be done unassisted☺️

    I use a hip flexion assist device from Becker as I have foot drop and hip flexor weakness. It helps both. I did a write up of it for local PTs as they were not familiar with it. You should review.

    I just discovered this. Unfortunately, 5 years ago this would have helped. With secondary progressive at age 63, it’s gotten a lot worse. Walking is very difficult actually but I’m doing your exercises religiously trying to claw my way back. Do you think this device would help at all?

    Does it work if you can’t bend your knee?

    • @DoctorGretchenHawley
      @DoctorGretchenHawley  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Great question - This is designed to help make sure the toes are lifted to clear the ground when taking a step...meaning the rest of the functionality of walking, including at least some bend in the knee, is present. It may help some if the knee cannot be bent, but I cannot say for certain.

    • @DoctorGretchenHawley
      @DoctorGretchenHawley  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Two hands are definitely needed for the dictus band since the elastic rubber band is so strong. If you only have use of one hand or if you don’t have someone who can help, I recommend the elevate 360 brace! I’ll be making a video on this in the near future :)

    • @DoctorGretchenHawley
      @DoctorGretchenHawley  ปีที่แล้ว

      Great question - It is definitely a good tool to help with preventing trips/falls when a person has drop foot. But, I always recommend practicing functional exercises without the aid of a brace to help strengthen the muscles and neural pathways to potentially not need the aid of a brace in the future☺️

If you have foot drop, you can't lift yourfoot, you haven't got good balance, and to get a shoe on is extremely problematic even trying to get your foot in never mind an extra thing.

      I'm sorry to hear that you are feeling discouraged. You are right that adding in something extra is challenging, and may require some assistance. In regards to shoes, have you heard of Kiziks? They are great brand with a wide toe box, and allow you to slip them on w/o needing to bend down to do so!
