Ankle - Foot Orthoses (AFO) /Bracing

DO YOU SUFFER WITH FOOT DROP?

Is it affecting your confidence and mobility or causing you to trip? Do you suffer with chronic ankle sprains, adult acquired flat foot, or posterior tibial tendon dysfunction? We have the revolutionary answer for you.

 

Our specialist range of three state of the art ankle-foot orthoses (AFO) gives you the ability to walk and run better than you could have imagined. 

 

Each of our AFO works by controlling alignment and movement at the ankle joint while compensating for muscle weakness, tight muscles or deformity due to injury or stroke. This allows a more normal walking and running style.
