Guest guest Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 I guess each of us has a different experience with AFOs just like we do everything else here. I use the Walk-On and love it. I have only had one and so far it has lasted for about a year. And there doesn't appear to be any stress to the brace - and I check it regulary. I had Toe-Off's before and had trouble with them cracking. But so far, so good with the Walk-On. For me personally, I hated the rigid plastic AFOs. They burned the bottom of my feet, made my ankles hurt and caused alot of pain in my hips if I walked very far or for long periods of time. I have also had the hinged AFO and had the same problems with them basically as the rigid ones except that they did seem to help more with a more natural looking gait. Jimmy - I am so sorry the Walk-On hasn't been what you expected. I feel responsible for you trying it, since it has worked so well for me. Maybe our gait, etc is so different is why you are not finding them as helpful as I have found them to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
