If you need to control motion after you articulate the AFO you
should use the L2220 add-on code. If you are just providing dorsi assist,
use L2210. With free motion, use L2200.

since i recently learned how to use the control-c & then control-v
buttons on my keyboard - beware !!!!

i noticed the above in a post about articulated afo's

my interpretation of the L2200 was 'limited motion' i.e. a posteriorly
positioned plantar flexion stop on an artic. afo - not as a general add on
to compensate for our cost for the ankle joints

& as for just throwing the L2220 on if you need to limit motion - that (i
thought) was for dorsi/plantar assist/resist eg double action ankle joints

my quotes on descriptors is from memory & i never thought i'd learn them in
such detail - correct me if i err - however, i hear it is human !
