Ankle-Foot Orthosis (AFO)

Custom-molded ankle-foot orthoses for foot drop, spasticity, and ankle instability at Bethesda Physio & Rehab Clinic in Vellore. Precision-fitted AFOs improve gait safety and reduce tripping risk.

SESSION
30-45 minutes
PROTOCOL
3-5 fittings over 4-6 weeks

How It Works

A thermoplastic or carbon-fiber brace is custom-molded to the patient's lower leg, foot, and ankle. The AFO controls ankle dorsiflexion and plantarflexion, preventing foot slap and toe drag during the swing phase of gait.

Key Benefits

Eliminates foot drop and toe drag
Improved gait symmetry
Reduced tripping and fall risk
Lightweight and concealable in shoes
Custom-fit for all-day comfort

Precautions

  • Severe ankle edema
  • Open wounds at brace contact areas
  • Fixed ankle deformity
