Ankle Foot Orthosis (AFO)
An Ankle Foot Orthosis (AFO) is a custom or prefabricated brace designed to support the foot and ankle, improve alignment, and enhance mobility. It is typically worn inside a shoe and extends from below the knee to the foot.

- Foot drop
- Stroke or neurological conditions
- Cerebral palsy
- Multiple sclerosis
- Muscular weakness or paralysis
- Ligament injuries or ankle instability
- Post-surgical rehabilitation needs
How it works
An AFO stabilizes the ankle and foot, controls unwanted motion, assists with toe clearance during walking, improves alignment and posture, and redistributes pressure to reduce pain. The goal is to support a more natural, efficient gait and reduce further strain or injury.
