FAQs
Did You Know?
An orthosis only helps when it becomes part of everyday life.
Research shows that many children do not wear their AFOs for the recommended amount of time, with studies reporting adherence rates below 50% in some populations. Comfort, fit, appearance, lifestyle demands and how naturally an orthosis fits into everyday life can all play a role (Prosthetics & Orthotics International, 2022).
Behind every unused AFO is usually a story: discomfort, fit issues, a child’s changing needs, challenges with shoes and clothing, or a device that just didn’t work with everyday life.
That’s why we combine orthotist expertise with digital design technology to create orthotic solutions designed around both clinical needs and the person who wears them.
