Ankle Foot Orthoses (AFOs) are commonly used to treat a range of walking disorders caused by a variety of neurological and musculoskeletal disorders, such as stroke and multiple sclerosis. They are designed to provide support and proper joint alignment of the foot and ankle, assisting in instances of muscle weakness and helping protect the foot and leg.

AFOs are typically made of plastic, carbon-fiber, or metals, with various levels of rigidity based on the needs of the individual.

Knee Ankle Foot Orthoses (KAFOs) are designed to provide support and proper joint alignment of the knee, foot and ankle, assist or substitute for muscle weakness and joint instability, and protect the lower limb.

This type of brace may be prescribed to combat the effects of muscle weakness due to a neuromuscular disorder or may be used as protection for patients who are in rehabilitation after a traumatic injury. Conditions where a KAFO may help include post-polio syndrome, multiple sclerosis, unilateral paralysis, and spinal cord injury.

We offer a variety of orthoses and supports for the shoulder, arm, elbow, wrist, and hand that can be used for a range of needs, from ongoing stability to post-operative or post-injury immobilization.

Positional Supports help prevent unwanted contractures, maintain proper alignment, and control range of motion. They are often used as part of a physical or occupational therapy program.

Spinal orthoses, which include neck and back orthoses, are used to support and stabilize areas of the body from the cervical to the lower back, including the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine. These types of orthoses may be used postoperatively to promote proper and safe healing, to treat a chronic disease or condition such as arthritis, or used to treat an injury like whiplash.
