Ankle-Foot Orthoses (AFOs) are supportive devices designed to stabilize the ankle and foot. They are commonly used for individuals with conditions that affect mobility, such as cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, or after a stroke. AFOs help improve walking ability by providing support and alignment to the lower leg. These orthoses can be made from various materials, including plastic and metal, and come in different styles to meet individual needs. AFOs can be custom-fitted or pre-fabricated, depending on the user's requirements. They are typically worn inside shoes and can enhance balance and reduce the risk of falls.
