How it works?
The orthosis wraps around your foot and ankle, holding your foot at 90 degrees while you sleep. This stops gravity from pulling your foot into a downward position overnight. Your tendons stay at the right length. Your muscles stay in position. When your nerves start recovering, your foot is ready to respond.

- Stroke survivors with foot drop

- Anyone recovering from peroneal nerve damage
- Post-surgery patients at risk of contracture
- Anyone who wakes up with a stiff, dropped foot
Foot Drop Night Orthosis
Stop your recovery from going backward while you sleep
When the peroneal nerve is damaged, the muscles that lift your foot stop working. Every night, gravity pulls your foot downward into a position called plantarflexion. Your Achilles tendon shortens. Your calf muscles tighten. After weeks of sleeping like this, your ankle locks into that position. Even when your nerve starts healing, your foot can’t respond because the tendons have shortened too far.
The Cedrow Night Orthosis holds your foot at 90 degrees while you sleep. It keeps your Achilles tendon at the right length, your calf muscles relaxed, and your ankle in a neutral position. Night after night, it preserves the conditions your body needs to actually recover.
Instead of waking up stiff with an ankle that won’t move, you wake up with a foot that’s ready for the day.
Sleep through the night without cramping
Foot drop doesn't just affect your walking. It disrupts your sleep. Your foot falls into the wrong position, your calf muscles tighten, and you wake up with spasms, cramping, or that sharp stiffness in your ankle. The orthosis keeps your muscles in a relaxed, neutral position all night, so you sleep deeper and wake up without the pain.
Protect what your body is trying to heal
Rigid plastic night splints are bulky, uncomfortable, and over 40% of people stop wearing them within the first week. Doing nothing means 8 hours of tendon shortening every single night. Physical therapy helps during the day, but it can't prevent what happens to your foot while you sleep. The Cedrow Night Orthosis uses a soft, medical-grade neoprene design with adjustable dorsiflexion support that holds your foot in position without the bulk or discomfort of rigid splints. Clinical research shows that consistent nighttime positioning can restore over 20 degrees of ankle range of motion in as little as two weeks.

“I used to be terrified of tripping, constantly watching the ground to make sure my toes didn't catch. This brace is lightweight and lifts my foot instantly, so I can walk naturally without thinking about every step. I feel steady and safe again, and I’m finally walking outdoors without the fear of falling. It’s not just a brace — it gave me my independence back.”
Start your mornings with confidence, not fear
Those first steps out of bed are the worst. Your foot feels locked. You're afraid of tripping. You hold the wall just to get to the bathroom. The orthosis changes your mornings. Your foot wakes up in the right position, your ankle moves, and you step out of bed without that wave of stiffness and fear.
Designed with physical therapists and orthopedic specialists
The Cedrow Night Orthosis was developed based on clinical research into nighttime dorsiflexion positioning. It's been reviewed by physical therapists, orthopedists, and neurologists who work with foot drop patients daily. Studies show that consistent nighttime positioning can restore over 20 degrees of range of motion. You get clinically supported recovery support for less than the cost of a single PT session.

How does this brace help with foot drop?
How does this brace help with foot drop?
The brace attaches to your shoe and ankle to mechanically lift the front of your foot while you walk. This prevents your toes from dragging on the ground, which significantly improves clearance and reduces the risk of tripping on stairs or uneven surfaces.
What type of shoes can I wear this with?
What type of shoes can I wear this with?
This brace is designed to work with lace-up shoes, sneakers, or boots. It uses the shoe’s laces (eyelets) as an anchor point to lift the foot. It is not suitable for loafers, slip-ons, or sandals that do not have a secure way to attach the clip.
Is it difficult to put on?
Is it difficult to put on?
Not at all. The design is simple and user-friendly, often allowing for one-handed application. Once the attachment is secured to your shoe, you simply wrap the cuff around your ankle and clip it in. It is much easier to manage than bulky rigid boots.
Can I wear it all day?
Can I wear it all day?
Yes. The brace is made from lightweight, breathable materials designed for extended wear. However, we recommend breaking it in gradually—start with 1-2 hours a day and increase usage as you get comfortable with the support.
Will this work for severe foot drop?
Will this work for severe foot drop?
This brace is ideal for mild to moderate foot drop (e.g., caused by stroke recovery, nerve injury, or fatigue). If you have a rigid foot deformity, severe ankle instability, or complete paralysis where the ankle cannot be moved by hand, a rigid AFO prescribed by a doctor may be more appropriate.
Does it come in different sizes?
