When wearing orthotic devices, socks are a must.

For those using orthotic devices due to paralysis from stroke or cerebral hemorrhage, spinal cord injury, nerve damage, etc.: We strongly recommend wearing socks when wearing orthotic devices. Here are three reasons why.

① Prevent scratches

When you have paralysis, your sense of touch becomes dull, and you may develop wounds without realizing it. If left untreated, this increases the risk of infection and pus formation.

② Preventing stuffiness and hygiene measures

Plastic and leather braces tend to get stuffy and uncomfortable when you sweat. Wearing socks is recommended for odor control and to prevent athlete's foot.

③ Prevents slippage and supports walking.

Non-slip socks prevent your feet from moving around inside the orthotic device, supporting stable walking. They are also convenient for those who put on their orthotic device with one hand.

At Setagaya Care, we offer a variety of socks tailored to the needs of people using orthotic devices, including socks with non-slip soles and socks with a loose fit.
