About

Among the many benefits of an AFO brace, the hinged model provides flexibility and adjusts to your foot size. These are paired with Velcro straps and should be worn with shoes that offer adequate stability. People suffering from cerebral palsy, hemiplegia, or medial instability should opt for hinged AFO braces. However, they should note that hinged AFO braces are contraindicated in patients with stress fractures and excessive ankle dorsiflexion.
