AFO Prescription to Optimize Post-Stroke Function

These pre-manufactured orthoses are customized to fit each patient. These devices can help to distribute weight evenly along the foot, but do not offer much opportunity for adjustment to a patient's specific needs. These AFOs achieve ankle motion through material deflection and lack a single point of articulation.

These AFO designs are built from a custom mold of the patient's affected limb for a more individualized fit. It includes a solid ankle design and achieves ankle motion through material deflection and lacks a single point of articulation.

These AFO designs are also built from a custom mold of the patient's affected limb, but these orthoses have a true articulation at the ankle to provide controlled ankle movement in a range determined appropriate by the orthotist through gait analysis.
