At Independent Living Superstore, we focus on practical solutions that simplify everyday routines while supporting independence and ease of use. As a family-run, veteran-owned business, we carefully select products that solve real-world challenges with thoughtful design. The Original AFO Assist by Home Heart Beats is a specialized dressing aid designed to make putting on an ankle-foot orthosis (AFO) and shoe more manageable and consistent.
The Original AFO Assist is designed to support the process of positioning and securing an AFO and shoe during dressing. By holding the orthosis and footwear in place, it helps reduce the effort typically required when aligning the foot, brace, and shoe at the same time. This allows for a more controlled and streamlined dressing experience.
This system features a structured platform that stabilizes both the AFO and the shoe, allowing the user to guide their foot into position more easily. Components such as the AFO cradle and shoe platform work together to maintain alignment, while a smooth-entry design helps reduce friction during the process of putting on footwear.
The Original AFO Assist is designed to accommodate a wide range of sizes, making it suitable for both pediatric and adult users. Its compact and lightweight design also allows for use in different settings, including bedside, seated, or travel environments, offering flexibility in daily routines.
