How do I order the correct size XTERN?
The XTERN comes in 4 frame sizes: pediatric, small, medium and large *Approximate Size Ranges in U.S. Shoe Sizes: [Pediatric Frame- Child 9.5-13 and Youth 1-3], [Small Frame- Women 3.5-8 and Men 2.5-7], [Medium Frame- Women 9.5-11.5 and Men 7.5-10.5], [Large Frame- Men 11+]

What comes with my XTERN?
Each XTERN package comes standard with the AFO frame, Calf section soft goods (including velcro strap), 5 lace clips, written instructions, one Allen key, one bag of zip ties (approximately 20 ties included).

How do I attach the lace clip to my shoes?
Small zip ties are used to secure the lace clip to the front of your shoe. See "Lace Clip Fitting" video on the Videos page.

What types of shoes work with the XTERN?
The XTERN will fit onto most footwear! Footwear requirements: 1) Sturdy material or eyelets near the front of the shoe to mount the Lace Clip (front holder for the AFO frame). 2) Slightly flared heel on the shoe. Enjoy more footwear options with the XTERN!

What if my footwear does not have eyelets (i.e. men's dress loafer) or a flared heel (i.e. Converse or Vans)?
Holes may be put into shoe material where lace clip will be mounted. If unsure or unable to perform, contact TurboMed USA or your local cobbler for help. Heel bumps may be placed on shoes with small set screws and Sugru. This allows the heel portion of the AFO frame to press down to provide the force needed for dorsiflexion assistance.

How do I put on the XTERN?
Attach lace clip to shoe. Secure AFO frame in lace clip and pull back of frame onto shoe. Slip foot into shoe and pull frame behind calf muscles. Tie shoe and secure velcro strap around leg. See "Donning Process" video on the Videos page.
