Esteemed colleagues. I( would like to hear your ideas about what is your AFO of choice for a weight bearing application in a lower limb with typical extensor pattern spasm? Foot plantarflexed to billy-oh, ankle in varus and leg internally rotated? Position is correctible with a slow stretch but physios wish to have an orthosis which they can use to have this patient weight bearing in a good position. I will post the responses because I believe that this is one of the basics.
Thankyou, Richard Ziegeler P&O
