Hi,
Have you thought of trying a silicone AFO via the orthotist. This has had
good results when used with CP patients.

Subject: Foot Drop
Hi All
Just seeking some advice regarding a 65 year old lady suffering with
Multiple Sclerosis. She has significant foot drop and massive lateral
instability on her right side. AFO's have proved unsuccessful and whilst
the devices I have prescribed have reduced the lateral instability there has
been no overall improvement in her amount of foot drop. Muscle strength is
very poor and whilst receiving rehabilitative physio, we are not achieving
the kind of results I would like. Any ideas for the type of device i could
use to assist this lady.
Kind Regards
Mr Andrea Castello
