Posterior Leaf Spring AFO

Carol Topper, CO

I am working with a very active 13 year old with bilateral foot drop, tight

heel cords and pronation. I currently have him in posterior Leaf Spring

AFO’s and he tends to crack one approximately every 3 months. I had him in

articulating AFO’s before without any problems but this tended to interfere

with his activity level in sports.

I would appreciate any suggestions for designs, or materials to strengthen

this style of orthosis.

Thank you,
