PERIPHERAL NEUROPATHY
This study showed promising improvements in some outcome measures for a small group of individuals with peripheral neuropathy or NMD who have drop foot. The new hAFO improves gait capacity more, may have better biomechanical function, is more aesthetic, is lighter in weight and induces higher levels of satisfaction than the plsAFO. These results suggest that the hAFO can be prescribed for individuals with peripheral neuropathy or neuromuscular disease who have drop foot and/or ankle instability that reduces their gait capacity.
