CONVENTIONAL METAL/LEATHER ANKLE FOOT ORTHOSIS (AFO)

Metal/Leather (Conventional) AFO
An AFO is a device that is used to control instabilities in the lower limb by maintaining proper alignment and controlling motion. It is most often used with patients suffering from neurological or orthopedic conditions such as stroke, multiple sclerosis, and cerebral palsy; and often used where swelling of the leg and foot is present. A conventional AFO is typically fabricated with two (2) metal upright bars and a leather covered calf band. The ankle joints are adjustable to control the amount of motion allowed in the ankle. The AFO is most often connected to the shoe.
BELOW KNEE CALIPER ORTHOSIS Metal double-upright dorsiflexion assist AFO shoe with lateral T strap for control of varus deformity. The metal dorsiflexion assist ankle joint has also been referred to in the distant past as a Klenzak ankle joint. Note the split stirrup in the heel that allows the wearing of the orthosis with other shoes. The metal AFO consists of a proximal calf band, two uprights, ankle joints, and an attachment to the shoe to anchor the AFO. The posterior metal portion of the calf band should be 1.5 to 3 inches wide to adequately distribute pressure. The calf band should be 1 inch below the fibular neck to prevent a compressive common peroneal nerve palsy. A leather strap with Velcro is used to close the calf band, because it provides ease of closure for patients with only one functional upper limb.
