Foot Drop Splint-Child
-
Left/Right
-
With Liner/Without Liner
The Tynor Foot Drop Splint – Child (D-17) is a paediatric leaf-spring ankle-foot orthosis (AFO) designed to manage foot drop in children — where the front of the foot cannot be lifted. The semi-rigid polypropylene shell holds the foot in a neutral, dorsiflexed position to help stop the toes dragging, assist toe clearance during the swing phase of walking, and promote a more natural stepping pattern. Thin and lightweight, it is designed to be worn inside most children's shoes, and the contours can be customised by a clinician for a precise fit. Available for the left or right foot, with a choice of standard (without liner) or padded (with liner) versions.

ⓘ Important: This is a maximum-correction (5/5) paediatric foot-drop orthosis. Selection, sizing, fitting and any customisation must be carried out under the guidance of a qualified healthcare professional. The splint is side-specific — please order the correct left or right foot, and choose the with-liner or without-liner version as advised.
Use under the guidance of a qualified healthcare professional. Ensure the straps are firm without restricting circulation.
How to Use

- Fasten the ankle strap for proper alignment and grip.
