FAQs
What does a solid-ankle AFO support?
An AFO supports the foot and ankle. A solid-ankle design provides a different level of movement control from an articulated design, so the prescribed construction needs to match the clinical assessment.
What footwear should I use with this AFO?
Ask the orthotist to check the proposed shoe with the fitted AFO. Bring the footwear you intend to wear and follow the supplied guidance on socks, fastening and wearing-in.
What should I confirm about the TC Flex model?
Ask the team to confirm the exact product specification, material, trim lines and fitting requirements. Do not assume that two similarly named devices have identical construction or are interchangeable.
