AFO — Ankle-Foot Orthosis
Ankle-Foot Orthosis
An Ankle-Foot Orthosis (AFO) is a brace that supports the ankle and foot. It is commonly prescribed to help manage a range of conditions that affect walking ability and foot positioning. AFOs can be custom-made to suit each individual's anatomy and clinical requirements.

- Foot drop (difficulty lifting the front of the foot)
- Walking instability or balance difficulties
- Ankle or foot positioning support
- Controlled ankle movement following injury or neurological conditions
- Conditions affecting gait pattern
Potential Benefits

Disclaimer: Suitability and fitting of an AFO should be assessed by an appropriately qualified professional. An AFO must not be used without proper assessment and fitting.
