Vive Coretech Anterior Carbon Fiber AFO

The Vive Health Coretech Anterior Carbon Fiber AFO is a lightweight orthotic brace that supports the foot and ankle and helps improve gait mechanics for people with foot drop or neuromuscular weakness. Its anterior shell holds the ankle in a functional dorsiflexion angle, which helps reduce trip risk and encourages a more efficient walking pattern.

Built with 64% carbon fiber, the brace delivers durable support and returns energy with each step to assist forward motion. The low-profile frame fits inside most standard lace-up footwear, and the hook-and-loop straps with a removable padded liner let you customize the fit for rehabilitation programs, clinical settings, or everyday use at home.
