Re: Toe Off AFOs come in different colors!!! Look at this Research!

[Guest guest]

My son had a black pair. They didn't work with his weak ankles at all.

I am very happy they work for a few people with but they are not going

to work for anyone that needs ankle support. Not to be a stick in the mud.

Don't be silly you are not a stick in the mudd just because they

didn't work out. I have learned more over the last few years

regarding various treatments and I have tried the same treatment

after achieveing results from a particle treatment whet back and

tryed the same thing and guess what it worked.

so many of us have different needs. I had the toe-offs and at first i loved them

and thought what a difference they made. Then they snapped because i put a lot

of pressure on my right foot to go up and down steps. They are good if you have

foot drop, but i have muscle weakness on all 4 sides of my ankle and it only

addressed one side of the ankle. I am still in search of the perfect AFO and i

probably need to look at a KAFO as my quads are so weak.

If your son needs ankle support the traditional AFOs would be better

for him. I have the shorter ones and they are cut out in the back like

metal braces. They are also made out of kevlar and graphite so they

are lighter and stronger. They are also thinner. They work well for

me. They might for him. My orthotist, Wade Bader of Bader Orthotics in

Tampa, made them for me in camo. I like the look, your son might too.
