I got my hinged AFOs last month and they have given me life back. I went from being unable to walk without dislocating my ankles, to being able to walk for a mile or more without any pain. Thank you to everyone involved in this process
I couldn't wear that AFO. I did try the plastic brace but at times, my foot hurt so much and I was trying to walk so my foot would not hurt. I had to take it off because of the discomfort and I still wore out the toe of my shoe. I wear a metal AFO where the shoe is attached to the brace and with the metal brace I do not wear out my shoe. I have had no issues with the metal brace, it lets me live life to the fullest and that includes square dancing twice a week. In my opinion a brace is suppose to enhance your quality of life not hinder it.
I’m glad you found something that worked! I have hinged AFOs for both feet, and had to have one of them adjusted a few times because the arch was too high and caused pain like you mentioned, but now that they’re correct, I can wear them all day without pain. I hope you’re doing well and enjoying square dancing!
Depending on thickness of the cast i would just staple when i get the proper angle or super glue...good stuff!!!

How long have hinged AFO's been around?
How do you get into it?
