The BraceWorx Hip Flexion Assist Device (HFAD) is an assistive walking device that helps you lift your hip, knee and foot. It was originally designed for Multiple Sclerosis but can be used for other neurological conditions as well.

  • Prevents you from tripping over your foot and/or dragging your leg
  • Assists with hip flexor weakness
  • Improves strength and gait performance
  • Enhances your gait and reduces fall risks
  • Gives you greater confidence with every step

Walk farther and return to the activities you love with the BraceWorx HFAD, backed by Becker Orthopedic’s 91 years of expertise in orthotics.

Note: When ordering, specify left, right or bilateral. As well as regular length or extra long (height over 5'10" requires the extra long HFAD.

How Do I Know if BraceWorx HFAD is Right for Me?

  • I have unilateral seated hip flexion strength of 3/5 or less
  • I have hip flexor, knee flexor, or ankle dorsiflexor weakness
  • I have fatigue when walking, resulting in limited endurance
  • I drag the weaker leg with compensatory movements (such as hip hiking, circumduction of the affected leg, or vaulting off the contralateral foot)
  • I have tried to use an AFO to compensate for foot drop, but still struggle to walk

If any of these points resonate with you, the BraceWorx HFAD is the right solution.
