“The Boxia Tension Strap is helpful in maintaining a dorsiflexion foot position for someone with footdrop. It is made of two low profile surface Velcro pads attached/sewn to a short length of 6mm bungee tension elastic. It is a helpful product, but at almost £20, it is expensive and wears out fairly quickly. The Velcro pads eventually become ‘non-sticky’ and the elastic strap wears and gets very ‘thin’ at the contact points with the ‘S’ - shaped metal hooks of the AFO. At almost £20, Orthotix has placed this tension strap at a high price point for what is being sold to a captive customer base i.e. people who have footdrop. Footdrop is a life-changing experience and people who unfortunately have this disability/restriction to their mobility and use the Boxia Drop Foot AFO ankle strap, are very limited in terms of where they can purchase a replacement tension strap. As with almost any product that has a ‘healthcare’ or ‘rehabilitative’ intention, the price tends to be high. This disadvantages anyone with footdrop and who cannot get this product on the NHS. Orthotix should review the price of this product.”

“Overall the tension strap is good and does its job, however, due to foot and ankle issues I am encouraged to wear boots rather than shoes. The longest tension strap is only just long enough to cater for my footwear. I find I have to replace the strap on roughly a 3 monthly basis as the grip of Velcro has failed. This maybe due to the difficult fit associated with boots.”

“Excellent customer service kept me informed on progress of my order and promptly replied to any queries. Product, a replacement for an existing item suffering Velcro tiredness. Would certainly recommend this company.”
