Ankle-Foot Orthoses
Ankle Foot Orthoses (AFOs) are external biomechanical devices designed to support the lower limbs by stabilizing the joints, improving gait, and enhancing overall physical function. These devices play a crucial role in assisting individuals with mobility challenges, helping to provide foot clearance, control range of motion (ROM) in dorsiflexion and plantar flexion, improve balance, reduce the risk of falls, and support weak lower leg muscles. AFOs enable patients to regain mobility, return to daily activities, and improve overall quality of life.
At Prime Medical, we offer a variety of AFOs tailored to meet the unique needs of each patient. Our AFOs are crafted from high-quality thermoformed plastic, allowing for modifications and adjustments to ensure the perfect fit. These devices are available in different types and materials, making them suitable for both adults and children, including those with neurological conditions such as stroke, spinal cord injuries (SCI), and cerebral palsy. In some cases, AFOs are also used as night splints to prevent contractures and maintain proper foot positioning.
Prime Medical is dedicated to providing superior mobility solutions that enhance patient independence and recovery. Contact us today to learn more about our range of AFOs and how we can assist you in finding the right device for your specific needs.
