of a certied Prosthetist or Orthotist.
a ToeOFF®Family product

The brace that you have received is actually two
braces in one.The lower part, the ToeOFF®or
BlueROCKERTM (AFO), and the upper part, the
COMBO (Thigh cuff with extension control uprights).
They should preferably be used together to provide
increased ankle stability and/or dynamic walking assist,
and help prevent hyperextension of your knee. The
lower part (AFO) can also be used as a separate item
when desired and authorized by your orthotist and
physician.
Each brace should always have an interface between
the front of the brace and the leg. Tall cotton socks
are suggested for increased comfort. They also keep
the brace padding protected from perspiration and
soiling. The COMBO part has been shaped and
adjusted to t your leg. You should not make any
adjustment to the COMBO on your own. If you feel
any discomfort or experience any skin irritation, you
should immedi-ately remove the brace and contact
your orthotist.

Follow the tter/prescriber’s recommendations for gradually
increasing wearing time to help become accustomed to your
new brace.
DRIVING
Consult your tter/prescriber regarding any driving limitations.
SKIN MONITORING
Check the condition of your leg and foot daily, especially if you
are suffering from loss of feeling on your lower leg. In the case
of skin irritation or discoloration discontinue use immediately
and contact your tter/prescriber immediately. If your ability to
monitor your foot and leg is reduced, ask for assistance.

straps/pad may be purchased from your tter in order to decrease
laundering frequency. The brace can be gently cleaned with mild soap
and water.
