What is an AFO Brace?
Orthotics, also called braces, support limbs by controlling movement. Control and support are necessary when injury or congenital defects hinder the natural movement and shape of the limbs. In the case of ankle- or foot-related problems, an AFO brace, or ankle-foot orthotic brace, is used.The term AFO brace is a catchall term that applies to any external orthopedic equipment that limits the movement of the ankle joint and supports part of the foot, all of the foot and part of the ankle or all of the ankle. A wide variation in styles and supports exist within the broad ankle-foot orthotics category. Different shaping, straps, padding and construction differentiate the different types of braces.Thankshttp://www.pcrehabservice.comP&C Rehabilitation Services Inc.2100 Finch Ave West, Suite 310North York, ONM3N 2Z9416-652-6223
