AFO with drop locks

eric chen

I’ve recently encountered a prescription for a gentleman for an AFO with drop lock ankle joints to immobilize the ankle except for driving, where he wants to allow plantarflexion. Drop locks are not completely necessary, so long as there’s an optional lock. I have a couple designs in mind, but am curious to hear of anyone’s attempts/suggestions on such a device (materials, design, joints, etc.).

Thanks,

Eric Chen, CO
