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.
