leaf spring ankle foot orthosis

Made from injection-molded polypropylene splint that provides static dorsiflexion assistance and lateral stability for the entire foot-ankle area. Injection molding allows for thicker polypropylene on the vertical aspect for rigidity and a thinner footplate that may be trimmed with a pair of ordinary scissors. A heat gun may be used to further form the splint if desired. The low arch and open heel give this splint a streamlined profile that fits easily into any shoe. A padded hook-and-loop strap secures the AFO around the calf. Trim to fit with scissors.
