FAQ's

What is a Dictus Band?

A Dictus Band is an orthotic aid designed to assist individuals with foot drop by lifting the foot immediately after toe-off during walking. This action helps reduce the risk of tripping over obstacles such as thresholds, carpet edges, and uneven surfaces, improving mobility and confidence.

How do I choose the right size for a Dictus Band?

Sizing depends on specific measurements, such as waist and thigh circumference for the Dictus Hip. Detailed sizing information can be found in the product documentation.

What are the different types of Dictus Bands available?

Dictus Original – A discreet aid for both children and adults. It consists of a leather ankle strap fastened with Velcro and a soft rubber band that attaches to the shoe’s lacing hooks.

Dictus Flex – Designed for lace-up shoes, this version includes a wrist band, a rubber band, and an attachment device mounted in the shoe. The Flex rubber band provides adjustable support.

Dictus Hip – Suitable for individuals with weakened leg muscles or hip flexors, such as those with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). It includes a comfortable hip belt and elastic rubber bands that assist with hip flexion, making it easier to lift the leg while walking.

Can the Dictus Band be worn with any type of shoe?

The Dictus Original and Dictus Flex are designed to be discreet and compatible with most types of shoes, including lace-up shoes. The Dictus Hip can be worn over regular clothing or under loose-fitting clothes and can be used on one or both legs.

Is the Dictus Band suitable for children?

Yes, Dictus Bands are available for both children and adults, providing a comfortable and discreet aid for individuals with foot drop.

How do I maintain and clean my Dictus Band?

The ankle strap of the Dictus Band is made of genuine leather, which becomes more comfortable over time. To maintain it, follow standard leather care practices, such as:

  • Wiping with a damp cloth
  • Applying leather conditioner as needed
