If between sizes, choose the larger — the foot plate can be trimmed shorter for a custom fit. Consult your orthotist or physical therapist for proper fitting when possible. --- SHORT FOOT PLATE vs. LONG FOOT PLATE: Short Foot Plate — Ends just behind the metatarsal heads. Ideal for patients wanting a lower-profile brace that fits easily inside standard shoes. Preferred for mild-to-moderate dorsiflexion weakness. Long Foot Plate — Extends further toward the toes for greater forefoot control. Better suited for patients requiring additional plantar support or those with significant spasticity or foot instability. HOW TO CHOOSE: Want fuller support to just behind the toes? Choose the Long Foot Plate. Want the lowest profile with the ball of the foot free to flex? Choose the Short Foot Plate. If unsure, choose Long — a plate that's slightly long can be trimmed; a plate that's too short cannot be extended --- PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS: Material: Polypropylene (3/16" or 1/4") Closure: Hook & Loop Strap Kit Foot Plate Style: Short or Long (see variant) Orientation: Left or Right (see variant) Available Sizes: Small, Medium, Large, X-Large Manufacturer: OPTEC USA FSA/HSA Eligible: Yes (verify with plan)

• SHORT OR LONG FOOT PLATE — Long Foot Plate supports to just behind the toes (sulcus-length). · Short Foot Plate -¾ Foot Plate supports to the ball of the foot, lowest profile (metatarsal-length). Available in both options.
• FITS A WIDE RANGE — MEN & WOMEN — Available in 4 prefab sizes: Small | Medium | Large | X-Large. Size by calf circumference and foot length — shoe size is approximate. Refer to the size chart before purchasing.
• DURABLE POLYPROPYLENE CONSTRUCTION — Built from high-quality polypropylene plastic engineered to withstand daily wear and the demands of active rehabilitation. Maintains its shape session after session, unlike softer materials that compress and lose effectiveness over time.
• CLINICALLY PROVEN DROP FOOT CORRECTION — Prefabricated polypropylene AFO brace lifts the foot during the swing phase of walking, restoring a natural gait pattern. Prescribed by orthotists for drop foot, dorsiflexion weakness, and medial-lateral instability.
• OPTEC USA MEDICAL GRADE QUALITY — Engineered to clinical orthotics standards by Optec USA Inc, an ISO 13485 certified manufacturing facility with over 25 years of experience in the industry.
• Why doesn't the foot plate reach my toes? It's not supposed to. Like all AFO braces, this foot plate stops short of the toes by design so your toes stay free to push off when you walk — a plate that covered the toes would block normal walking. The Long (sulcus) plate ends just behind the toes; the Short ¾ (metatarsal) plate ends behind the ball of the foot. Neither covers the full length of the foot, and that is correct, normal AFO design.
