Floor reaction afo fabrication.

Like many afo designs the grafo improves frontal plane stability and is. Floor reaction orthosis is a revolutionary orthoses. A second main difficulty with this orthosis has been its lack of adjustability in the degree of ankle equinus and consequently the amount of knee extension moment control. To slide the foot and leg into the frafo plantarflex the ankle point the toes down through the top of the orthosis see figure 4.

Generally formed from polypropylene there are several variations on the grafo but all include an anterior shell which captures the tibia proximally. If the floor reaction afo has a detachable anterior panel loosen the straps on the side of the panel 3. In these cases the floor reaction afo functions to maintain the affected joints in proper alignment to accentuate knee extension at midstance and compensate. For more topics in.

The heel needs to be all the way back and in. The material cost is lower but perhaps more importantly the time required for fabrication is approximately one third less. Make sure the heel is fully seated.
