I have had, over the years, several requests for a low profile AFO for treatment of drop foot. Typically, this request might come from a female who doesn't want a bulky orthosis. My usual response is that mechanically, we will not be able to effectively control the foot with a short lever arm. Has anyone ever experimented with a short designed AFO? And if so, has it been effective?
Thanks,
