Description
The paediatric AFO from Orthomerica keeps children’s feet and ankles in a good position for standing and walking. The AFO is designed to prevent equinus contractures and aid in the treatment of patients with spastic hemiplegia or diplegia.
The low-profile design is prefabricated and made from Polypropylene that can easily be fitted into a child’s shoes. The leaf spring design allows for a smoother gait pattern and low-cost blanks can be custom fitted. Especially effective application in clinical and office settings.
