An ankle orthosis (AFO) is a medical device that is used to support and stabilize the ankle joint. It is typically made of a lightweight, durable material, such as plastic or metal, and is secured in place with straps or velcro. AFOs are used to protect the ankle after an injury, such as a fracture, dislocation, or ligament tear, reduce pain and inflammation, promote healing, prevent further injury, maintain stability of the ankle joint, improve range of motion and correct deformities. AFOs are available in a variety of styles and sizes. Some AFOs are designed to be worn all the time, while others are only worn for certain activities. The type of AFO that is best for you will depend on your individual needs and the reason for using the AFO.
