Extra Strong Ankle Foot Orthosis

The Extra Strong Ankle Foot Orthosis is designed to be worn on the lower leg to treat abnormalities in functions of the foot. It is worn inside footwear for convenience and ease of use, helping to effectively improve the conditions affecting foot motions.

Indications of the Ankle Foot Orthosis

An ankle foot orthosis (AFO) is worn on the lower leg, and fits inside the shoe for ongoing support when the foot is unable to function normally unaided. It provides dorsiflexion assistance to help with foot drop (also known as drop foot), which is a gait abnormality caused due to weakness or damage. The AFO can be applied to support the dropped forefoot.

The AFO also provides lateral stability for the ankle and foot area, making it ideal for anybody with weakened and unstable feet.

Benefits of the Ankle Foot Orthosis

The low-profile prefabricated AFO is made from a lightweight material, meaning it does not hinder movement by adding unnecessary weight around the foot and leg. This makes it ideal for anybody looking for an AFO during lengthy movement such as walking or during extended periods of time, ensuring that it does not cause any unwanted discomfort.

With an open heel and a low arch, the AFO features a streamlined design that can fit easily into any shoe. There is no need to compromise your daily footwear or seek out specialist shoes, as the Ankle Foot Orthosis can accommodate your needs.

How is the Extra Strong AFO Secured?

The Extra Strong Ankle Foot Orthosis features an adjustable strap. This allows you to adjust the support so that it is snug, while still remaining comfortable.

What is This Support Made Out Of?

This support is made with 100% polypropylene. This provides the strength needed for adequate support, and ensures the orthosis will be durable enough for continued use.

The Extra Strong Ankle Foot Orthosis is available for both the right and the left leg, and comes in a choice of heights and shoe sizes to best suit the individual wearer.
