Our Products : Custom AFO - Ankle Foot Orthotics

Description

Ankle Foot Orthoses (AFOs) are devices used to support, align, prevent, correct, substitute or enhance function, and decrease pain or discomfort of the foot and ankle. They can be used for the more difficult and challenging foot and ankle involvements such as Posterior Tibial Tendon Dysfunction (PTTD), Charcot Joint, Degenerative Joint Disease (DJD), Drop Foot as well as many other foot and ankle diagnoses.

Custom AFO's are made off a cast of the patient and offer superior support, comfort and effectiveness.  We custom make all of our AFO's in-house

Description

A prefabricated, polypropylene ankle foot orthosis designed to support flaccid drop-foot.

Ossur AFO Leaf Spring features a more rigid vertical aspect for good lifting capacity, with a thinner, more flexible foot section for ease of trimming. The foot section can be trimmed to the desired shape and size with a pair of scissors.

The Ankle Foot Orthosis semi-rigid or rigid provides functional alignment for flaccid (weak) extremities and resistance to mild extensor spasticity. Spasticity is a disorder of the body's motor system in which certain muscles are continuously contracted. This contraction causes stiffness or tightness of the muscles and may interfere with gait, movement, and speech.


Rigid and Semi-Rigid

The Rigid and Semi-Rigid Ankle Foot Orthosis provides functional alignment for flaccid (weak) extremities, resistance to mild extensor spasticity and it also provides mediolateral support for ankle instability.
