My feet are starting to drop. I am paying attention to lifting my knees when I run and walk but I'm forgetting sometimes and tripping/catching it before I fall. I will look into braces that keep feet from dropping. Have any of you tried those? Peggy

I've have a total drop foot due to the butcher surgeon who did surgery on my back. I can't move my toes nor my foot at all. I have a foot brace I purchased on Amazon. It's very sturdy, light weight, so comfortable and covers my foot from my heel to the end of my toes. If you choose to go to a prosthetic place they have some, not a lot of samples, you can try on.
He offered my a bulky black brace. Not good at all. Then he offered me one like I've just described that the have on Amazon and it did the trick.
The comparison of each of these is amazing. Believe it or not, I can drive perfectly with it. Hope this helps.
Good luck and happy new year to all of you out there
