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.

Rigid AFOs

Provide maximum support and control by restricting movement in the ankle joint. They are often used for severe foot drop or significant ankle instability.

Articulated AFOs

Allow some degree of ankle movement while providing support and control. They are suitable for individuals with mild to moderate gait issues.

Dynamic AFOs

Utilize spring-like mechanisms to assist with foot clearance during the swing phase of walking. They are often used for individuals with mild foot drop.

Custom AFOs

Custom-made based on an individual's specific foot and ankle measurements.
