I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 1989 and I have suffered from foot drop on my right side for the past 15 years. In 2005, I purchased a Bioness L300 to wear on my right leg to help with the difficulty I experienced in walking do to the foot drop on my right side. The L300 has been very helpful however, it didn't solve two important issues, how to get better lift in my knee and hip. I constantly had to swing my leg when walking.
In October of 2017, I travelled to AxioBionics in Ann Arbor, MI, USA, to try out an exciting product called the Triple Flex Brace. The Triple Flex, was developed by Philip Muccio, the President and Founder of AxioBionics.
The Triple Flex Brace, not only helps with foot drop by lifting my foot, but it also allows me to make a better step by helping to lift my knee and hip. Two problems, the L300 didn't help with.
I now wear the Triple Flex Brace, with the L300 underneath. The two devices work in tandem and my walking has improved a great deal. However, it is the Triple Flex Brace, that is the real star. It gives me the added benefit of knee and hip lift, which was a major issue for me. With or without the L300, it works great.
I would highly recommend AxioBionics and the Triple Flex Brace to any one who suffers from foot drop in one or both legs. Philip and his staff at AxioBionics are very knowledgeable and are excellent to work with. read more
