What does AFO mean?<\/h2>\n

AFO<\/strong>, the short form of Ankle Foot Orthosis<\/strong>, is aimed at controlling the position & motion of one’s ankle, improving deformities, or compensating for weakness. It can also be used for aiding the weak limbs of a person or for positioning one of his limbs having contracted muscles into another position that is more normal.<\/p>\n

In addition to that, Ankle Foot orthoses are also used for controlling foot drop, which is affected by various neurologic or musculoskeletal disorders. Because of the widespread use for expressing foot drop, AFO, now, has become equivalent to the phrase, ‘foot-drop brace’. <\/p>\n

The objective of using AFO is to stabilize the foot & ankle & provide toe clearance at the time of the gait’s swing phase. The advantage of it is that it helps lessen the risk of grabbing the toe & falling. The typical frame of an AFO is L-shaped, which is positioned surrounding the foot & the ankle, lengthening from simply below the knee & stopping at the foot’s metatarsal heads.<\/p>\n

Ankle Foot Orthosis is available both in readymade form & in custom molded form. The custom molding is done over the limbs of the individual wearers directly. Also, Ankle Foot Orthosis is fabricated of different types of materials surrounding the limb of an individual wearer. Such materials include heat-moldable plastics, carbon composite, metal & leather.<\/p>\n
