Carbon Fibre AFOs

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.

Who can benefit from Carbon Fibre AFOs?

  • Foot drop
  • Mild to moderate muscle weakness
  • Neurological conditions such as stroke or multiple sclerosis
  • Peripheral nerve injuries
  • Fatigue with walking or decreased endurance

How it works

Carbon fibre AFOs store energy when the foot contacts the ground and release energy during push-off. They support toe clearance, help prevent tripping, and promote a more efficient gait pattern.

Types, features or options

  • Lightweight design
  • Energy return for walking efficiency
  • Slim profile for footwear compatibility
  • Quick availability without casting
  • Durable material for long-term use
