Ossur Rebound Foot Up AFO Drop Foot Brace – Dynamic Dorsiflexion Support
The Össur Rebound Foot Up AFO is a lightweight ankle-foot orthosis (AFO) that provides dynamic support for drop foot and related disorders requiring dorsiflexion assistance. The elastic strap connects to the shoe via a transparent plastic inlay (between shoelaces) or a nut-and-bolt through the eyelets, allowing medial or lateral positioning to individualize support. The smart clamp ankle cuff holds securely in place and enables one-handed donning and doffing.
✅ What's Included with Every Order
Every order includes the Ankle Cuff (your selected size) and the Attachment Kit — everything you need to use the brace with a standard lace-up shoe right out of the box.
- Rebound Foot Up Ankle Cuff — the main brace unit with smart clamp (S/M or L/XL, your choice)
- Attachment Kit (RFU50201) — includes the transparent plastic inlay, elastic strap, and nut & bolt for attaching to a lace-up shoe
Measure the circumference of your ankle around the malleoli (ankle bone) to select the correct size.

The Foot Wrap is not included with this brace. It is a separate product for customers who want to use the brace barefoot, in sandals, or in open-toe shoes. If you only plan to use the brace with a standard lace-up shoe, you do not need it.

Frequently Asked Questions
What conditions cause foot drop?
Foot drop is most commonly caused by peroneal nerve injury (often from knee or hip surgery, or prolonged leg crossing), stroke, multiple sclerosis (MS), ALS, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, or lumbar disc herniation compressing the L4/L5 nerve root. It is a symptom, not a diagnosis — the underlying cause determines long-term treatment, while an AFO like the Rebound Foot Up manages the functional deficit during ambulation.
Can I use the Össur Rebound Foot Up AFO after stroke?
Yes. The Rebound Foot Up AFO is commonly prescribed for post-stroke drop foot. It supports the ankle during the swing phase of gait to prevent foot drag and tripping. Because it allows voluntary plantar flexion, it does not restrict the natural push-off phase, which is important for stroke rehabilitation and gait retraining. Always use under the guidance of your physical therapist or physiatrist.
How long do I need to wear a drop foot brace after peroneal nerve injury?
Recovery timelines for peroneal nerve injury vary widely. Mild injuries (neuropraxia) may recover in 6–12 weeks with conservative management. More severe injuries (axonotmesis or neurotmesis) can take 6–18 months or longer, and some patients require long-term AFO use. Your neurologist or orthopedic surgeon will monitor nerve recovery via EMG/NCS testing and advise when — or whether — the brace can be weaned.
Can I use the Rebound Foot Up AFO without shoes?
Yes — the Rebound Foot Up Foot Wrap (RFU50101) allows use barefoot, in open shoes, or in sandals. It replaces the standard shoe attachment. The Foot Wrap is sold separately — it is not included with this brace. Click here to purchase the Foot Wrap.
Is the Össur Rebound Foot Up AFO FSA or HSA eligible?
Yes. The Össur Rebound Foot Up AFO is FSA and HSA eligible as a qualified medical device. You can use your FSA or HSA card directly at checkout on OrthoTape.com. No reimbursement form is required when paying with an FSA/HSA card.
