François Côté is the designer who came up with the XTERN drop foot braces, but before that, he was an active man who got injured in a snowmobile accident. This event changed his life forever because he ended up with foot drop.

To face this challenge, he used science to develop a dynamic anklefoot orthosis that would allow him to keep his normal pace and continue his same level of activity. The XTERN’s springloaded technology gave him his life back, letting him walk, run, and hike.

When he met Stéphane Savard, an orthotist for 30 years, the two realized that they had a unique idea for helping people get their lives back. Indeed, the XTERN offers two advantages that set it apart from the other solutions on the market.

First, it is possible to move in every direction. The classic drop foot braces is immobile. Your foot is stuck in one position, and your muscles can’t move; this leads to rigid, uncomfortable movement. The XTERN, on the other hand, embraces your movements, whatever you do. For that, it’s an excellent foot drop brace for running.

Secondly, the XTERN is worn outside of your shoe, so you can wear any kind of footwear at all: work boots and winter boots you can even go skiing. You’ll be able to do crosscountry, go skating, play football or soccer, and go in the water. With its discreet low profile, you can wear it with sandals and dress shoes and still feel confident.

There’s no limits on what you can do. The plastic is a special blend that is as strong and light as carbon, so we offer a twoyear guarantee.

With these characteristics, you’re sure to get maximum comfort and agility.

Our AFO solution is adapted for:

1. Hinged AFO brace: https://turbomedorthotics.com/en/hing...

It was tested by many people with hinged foot drop following a disease. We helped them get back in shape with our AFO. Most who told us about their situation had been advised to use rigid, inexpensive solutions. What they found after only a few months was that they were losing muscle mass, endurance, and strength, while they needed to get more to recover from their weakened state.

With the XTERN, they got back the power and agility to play sports and improve their health.

2. Cerebral palsy AFO brace: https://turbomedorthotics.com/en/cere...

We used the XTERN with hemiplegic, diplegic, and mixed cohorts of cerebral palsy patients. With the help of our foot drop braces, they improved their walking movements. This was due to the dynamic springloaded features that brought relief in the effort required and strength compensation that made a real difference in their condition.

3. Dorsiflexion assist AFO: https://turbomedorthotics.com/en/dors...

Foot drop can appear after a serious injury, just like what happened to our engineer François Côté. If you’re suffering from a dorsiflexion condition, the XTERN is exactly what you need to get back to your preinjury state and get back to your active life.

With our dynamic, springloaded AFO and its flexibility in every direction, you’ll recover strength in your muscles and your leg agility.

4. Pediatric AFO brace for kids: https://turbomedorthotics.com/en/pedi...

Easily adjustable to your child’s growth, our pediatric AFO is what you need if your kid has had an injury or a disease that led to their foot drop condition. Since our dynamic foot drop braces are springloaded, your child’s posture will be strengthened, and they will grow normally as their muscles develop, instead of being restrained by a static AFO.

Because of this, you’ll prevent a secondary deformity or injury that could result from unbalanced body development.
