Ankle Foot Orthoses (AFO)
Ankle Foot Orthoses (AFOs) are orthopedic devices designed to provide support, stability, and alignment to the foot and ankle. They are used to improve mobility, correct gait issues, prevent deformities, and provide support for individuals with conditions like cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, stroke, muscular dystrophy, and other neuromuscular disorders.
There are different types of AFOs, each designed to address specific needs.
