For Sarah Johnson, the simple act of walking across her kitchen became a daily challenge after her stroke last year. At 54, the former hiking enthusiast found herself struggling with foot drop, unable to lift her foot properly during walking.

“I felt like I was dragging my leg behind me,” Sarah recalls. “Even short trips to the mailbox became exhausting ordeals that required all my concentration.”

When Traditional Solutions Fall Short

Sarah tried several ankle-foot orthoses, but found them bulky and uncomfortable. “The rigid plastic would dig into my skin, and I couldn’t wear most of my regular shoes. I was constantly taking it off, which defeated the purpose.”

Her physical therapist recognized the pattern. Many patients with neurological conditions like stroke, multiple sclerosis, or peroneal nerve injuries face similar challenges with traditional braces.

Everything changed when Sarah’s therapist suggested trying the LiftStep Dynamic Foot Brace. “The first thing I noticed was how quickly I could put it on—literally 10 seconds with the BOA lacing system. No more struggling with multiple straps and velcro.”

The bionic foot structure of the LiftStep provided immediate support, lifting her foot at precisely the right angle to prevent dragging while maintaining a natural gait pattern.

Beyond Basic Mobility

Within weeks, Sarah wasn’t just walking better—she was reclaiming activities she thought were permanently behind her.

“I attended my grandson’s soccer game last weekend,” she beams. “I walked across the entire field to cheer him on from the sidelines. Six months ago, that would have been impossible.”

The half-palm design of the LiftStep meant Sarah could wear it inside most of her regular shoes, eliminating the self-consciousness she had felt with previous devices.

The Science of Support

What makes the LiftStep different is its thoughtful engineering. The polypropylene shell provides firm support while the curved design and SBR lining ensure comfort throughout the day.

Dr. Michael Chen, a rehabilitation specialist, explains: “The LiftStep addresses the key issues that lead to poor compliance with traditional AFOs. It’s lightweight, comfortable for extended wear, and provides excellent support during the swing phase of walking.”

A Community of Success

Sarah isn’t alone in her experience. Patient satisfaction surveys show that 92% of LiftStep users report significant improvement in their mobility confidence within the first month.

“I’ve joined an online community of other LiftStep users,” Sarah shares. “We exchange tips and celebrate our mobility milestones together. Last month, I posted a video of myself walking on the beach—something I never thought I’d do again.”

The LiftStep Dynamic Foot Brace is ideal for individuals experiencing foot drop due to:

  • Stroke recovery
  • Multiple sclerosis
  • Peroneal nerve injuries
  • Partial foot paralysis
  • Post-surgical rehabilitation

With adjustable sizing and options for both left and right feet, the LiftStep can be customized to your specific needs.

Taking the First Step

Sarah’s advice to others facing similar challenges is simple: “Don’t wait to get your mobility back. I lost months being frustrated with inferior solutions before finding the LiftStep.”
