Posterior foam pad, for increased protection of the Achilles area. Following an accident, I became semi-paraplegic, having among other things, the drop foot syndrome, with a total challenge of the lifters. After trying various foot lifters, none suited me, they gave me the impression of having an artificial limb; moreover, this opinion was shared by several people having the same problem as me. Almost all of the foot lifters on the market are rigid, uncomfortable, difficult to put on, they amplify neurological pain and cause the foot to scald ”. The result of the PodaLib ™ foot lifter: “an excellent compromise between dynamic gait and ankle support, providing physical and psychological well-being.
