AFOs Kinds/Brands

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I have been wearing braces first when I was 14

in Early 80s. they were plastic lightweight that

went in shoe my legs at time weren't as bad

as now. it really depends on on your legs well I

couldn't tell you what brand.

Then in 90s I had to get braces again. I was't

wearing any then I was 25. I started falling alot,

they were plastic too but more heavy duty that go

in shoe they really worked good for me and then in

97, excuse me I don't really remember, what the

brands are they kinda just let me choose which I

would be more comfortable and of course the doc

says what they suggest wouldbe right for me.

I like the shoe braces you actually wear a shoe

and not have your foot in plastic AFOs and you can

change your shoes thats nice about them.

In 2000 I had to get new ones again, their plastic

metal and you just put them in shoe, the doc said

thats the best for me. I know the name of the

place were I got them is Hanger Nova Care

Prosthetics and their pretty popular or another is

Rehab. Designs of America.

The company that made them is called Oregon

Othotics inc. I don't know if I have been much

help or not. but if you have a choice I would go

with shoe braces metal on side they are more

comfortable. but they weren't best for me so I had

to get something more heavy duty. well good luck

and I hope I helped some lots of luck hope it

works out for you .
