AFOs for “Shin splints” in Bristol
An Ankle Foot Orthosis (AFO) is an orthosis that the patient wears around the ankle, foot and lower leg, to hold the ankle in a better position, therefore improving the knee and hip position and ultimately improving balance walking gait. It can be removed easily and fitted within different footwear.
Ankle Foot Orthoses are prescribed to adult and children for a wide variety of conditions and may require minor footwear foot modifications to influence a natural gait/walking pattern.
