Expert Foot Drop & AFO Care in Leeds — Without the NHS Wait

Yes — we regularly assess and supply AFOs for foot drop caused by MS, stroke, CMT, peroneal nerve injury, and post-surgical presentations.

An ankle–foot orthosis designed to support the foot and ankle during walking.

TurboMed XTERN attaches outside the shoe rather than inside it, so your foot sits naturally in your footwear. It allows controlled ankle movement, which produces a more natural gait — particularly on uneven ground. It's one of our most popular options and can be trialled during your assessment before you commit to purchase.

Not usually— we’ll assess whether a stock or custom device is most suitable.

Our modern AFOs are designed to be as low-profile as possible. We always aim to minimise bulk while ensuring the device gives the support required for your condition.

Yes. Post-surgical foot drop — including following hip replacement, knee surgery, or spinal procedures — is one of the presentations we regularly assess. An AFO can significantly improve walking safety while nerve recovery takes place, or as a long-term solution where recovery is incomplete.

Limitless Orthotics offers private specialist foot drop assessment at our clinic in Garforth, Leeds. We're accessible from across West Yorkshire, North Yorkshire, and South Yorkshire — and no GP referral is required to book.

Yes — but NHS provision varies considerably by area. Waiting times can be long, the range of devices available is often restricted, and certain options (including TurboMed, SAFO etc) are frequently unavailable due to cost. If you've been waiting for an NHS appointment, have been assessed and are unhappy with what was offered, or simply want a faster and more personalised service, private care gets you to the right device significantly sooner.
