Guest guest Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 Hello All, An AFO is also medicine for varus heel which is the main reason I wear mine. Sometimes you have a minus to go along with a plus. It's a matter of " balance " . Sorry about that - I just couldn't resist it!

In fact, an AFO may impair balance as the main muscles used in balance are those in the lower leg. " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
