What have clients said?
Master K happily wearing his new 3D-printed AFOs.
"Lexie from AbilityMade has been amazing throughout my son's AFO journey. She goes above and beyond to make sure every casting appointment goes smoothly and that my son is
comfortable. Not only has Lexie been amazing but the AFOs are great. They're not bulky or heavy and so easy to put on we have not had to have them adjusted at all. They have been great!"
- Vanessa, Master K's mum
Master Y is a “big thumbs up” for his new 3D printed AFO.
His mum added that “she is very impressed” and his Orthotist said “it’s a pleasure to fit an AFO with minimal changes required, that easily fits into standard off the shelf shoes and watch a young man walk with zero gait deviation.”
This client loves his footy and isn’t a huge fan of wearing AFOs. But today he walked in his new AFO with a huge smile on his face.
