afo

Does anyone know of a good sandal that a AFO can be worn with? I know it's winter, but I'm hoping to be ready for when summer gets here. We live in Arizona and as I found out last summer, gym shoes can be awfully hot in our summers here and with the AFO makes it even more uncomfortable. :?

Hi all, So I met with an orthotist person, and he said I need an AFO for my right leg. It's the kind that goes all the way under the foot, and all the way up the back of the calf and velcros below the knee. Due to spasticity issues, my foot rolls under and turns in, so I end up walking on the...

When I wrote my very first post about my 55 yo friend’s AFO situation a few months ago, in addition to getting information, I received some very nice “gentle reminders” that basically said to butt out—I was reminded that how the situation was handled was up to my friend and her boyfriend. But I...

Hi everyone....I finally gave in and got a prescription to see an Orthotist regarding my options for bilateral AFO's. I was holding off as long as I could because I didn't want to deal with the hassle of getting the white style fitted, then adjusted, and deal with how uncomfortable they might...
