An ankle foot orthosis (AFO) is a custom-fitted external device worn on the lower leg and foot to support and align the ankle and foot. AFOs are commonly prescribed for various conditions affecting lower limb function.
AFOs are custom-fitted by orthotists to meet each individual's specific needs. They may be used temporarily during rehabilitation or long-term for chronic conditions. Proper fitting and regular follow-up are important for optimal function and comfort.
The choice of AFO depends on the patient's specific condition, level of weakness or instability, and rehabilitation goals. Your Orthotist can help determine the most appropriate type for each individual.
