Dr. Jennifaye V. Brown’s book Brace Yourself: Everything You Need to Know About AFOs After Stroke is a concise, practical guide aimed at stroke survivors, their caregivers, and healthcare professionals. The book focuses on the use of ankle foot orthoses (AFOs) to manage foot drop and restore mobility after stroke. It covers topics such as selecting, fitting, and using AFOs, and provides actionable advice for working with physical therapists and orthotists to tailor AFOs to individual needs and lifestyles.

A central theme is patient-centered care—Dr. Brown emphasizes that AFOs should not only improve function but also align with the user’s personal style and self-image, helping reduce stigma and foster confidence. The book is filled with practical tips, real-world examples, and professional insights to empower readers to advocate for themselves or their loved ones.

While Brace Yourself addresses issues of style and self-image that may resonate with women, especially regarding the stigma of assistive devices, the book is not specifically focused on women. Its guidance is broadly applicable to anyone affected by stroke and in need of an AFO.
