Ankle and Foot Night Orthosis (AFO) - Pediatric
Made from 4 mm high-density polyethylene, anti-slip sole, foam interior lining, Velcro adjustment straps for better dorsal flexion regulation.
Its function is like a progressive positional splint, it can be used to prevent equinus foot and in situations where there is a need to avoid muscle shortening, especially at the level of the muscles in the plantar flexors, which tends to happen during periods of long rest.
Indications:
- Recommended for situations where there is a need to maintain or increase the angle of dorsal flexion and to control the ankle joint at night.
- Prevents plantar flexion by keeping the ankle in a neutral position depending on the patient's situation, passively stretching the plantar fascia and calf muscles during the night.
