Description
The Boston Soft Ankle Foot Orthosis aids a range of indications through reducing the spastic tone, enhancing foot positioning, encouraging muscular recovery and preventing further injury. It is manufactured from polyethylene foam with a 3mm polypropylene heel insert which is laminated between a high density outer foam layer and a lower density inner foam skin. It is an inexpensive alternative to a custom made AFO and can be trimmed with scissors to fit. It helps by controlling the movement of the foot and ankle and by taking the weight off the affected foot.
