Push Ortho AFO
Thought I'd try this AFO after using a hinged rigid brace for many years. The comfort this has over my old one is fantastic. It still provides all the support but feels light and more flexible at the same time. Visually it is now hard to notice I am wearing a brace at all because it isn't as bulky as my previous one. I am very happy with the Push AFO.
