We're really pleased to announce that we are now recognised suppliers of the Turbomed FS3000 AFO.
The Turbomed is a revolutionary AFO created by Talar Made for individuals with foot drop. It fits to the outside of footwear making it far more comfortable to wear than some other AFO's, which traditionally sit inside the shoe and can cause skin soreness for some clients. It doesn't restrict movement of the foot making it a great option when walking on slopes, up and down stairs and on uneven surfaces.
Some of our team have recently completed the training needed to be able to assess for and fit the Turbomed plus we now have our own assessment kit which gives people the chance to try the Turbomed before committing to buying their own orthosis.
The Turbomed is easily interchangeable between different shoes and the feedback we've had from clients who have used it so far has been overwhelmingly positive.
Lastly, we're completely objective and so if the Turbomed isn't the best option for you then we also have lots of experience of different therapy options for managing footdrop including the use of FES (Functional Electrical Stimulation), gait re-education, muscle strengthening and a great working knowledge of other AFO's available.
If you'd like to know more about how we can help with foot drop or would like the chance to try the Turbomed then contact us at info@bristolneurophysio.co.uk
