Guest guest Posted January 27, 2002 Report Share Posted January 27, 2002 Tina: I didn't know they made AFO socks. I wasn't given any with Leah when she got hers. I just use knee socks for now with hers. How are AFO socks different than other socks? Have you checked with them where they get them? Can you check with any of your therapists? Let us know. Never knew they made these things. A friend of mine has three kids with AFO's and they use regular long socks with them depending on how high up they go.

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2002 Report Share Posted January 28, 2002 These socks have a tighter band around the top, cling to the skin better and have no heel. They seem to be a little better than the regular sock. I've heard that if you order extra pairs from the provider of the AFO's they run from $40-$70. That's crazy. In searching, after I posted, I found a place in Canada that has them for $6-$7 according to how many you purchase. I still will like to find somewhere in the USA. The place to check is www.sock-em.com Tina Mom to Meghan Earlywine wrote: i would like to know more about these socks to. thanks karen mom tobrigitte Re: AFO socks> Tina:>> I didn't know they made AFO socks.

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2002 Report Share Posted January 29, 2002 This looks great. Is anyone aware if there is anyone in Australia making a similar product? If so, do you have the details? We find it difficult to find socks that don't mark 's legs, with the pattern of the sock, because of the added presure of the AFO pressing them into 's legs. Regards, & Savage.

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2002 Report Share Posted January 29, 2002 We've found a MUCH cheaper alternative. Actually, 's PT suggested them. We buy the " triple roll " socks at Old Navy, The Children's Place or The Gap. So far, the ones from Old Navy are the cheapest. Because they have the " triple roll " , when you unroll it, it will go up to 's knee. We then fold over the extra material to cover the AFO. They are not 100% cotton either but pretty close. Let me know if this works for anyone.Take Care! Diane- mom to 7 1/2 years old with Alpha Mannosidosis > Looking for information as to where to buy AFO socks.

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2002 Report Share Posted January 30, 2002 Hi Diane: That is what we do. We just get either knee socks, triple roll socks and actually I didn't think of rolling them over the AFO's until I saw that at school. I think part of that is so the plastic of the AFO doesn't feel uncomfortable in the back of Leah's legs when she is on the ground and kicking around and such. It takes a little bit to find the socks; but it is cheaper. I also have used her brothers old tub socks. No heel and can pull them up to her knee to accomodate the AFO's. I guess I haven't noticed the imprint of the sock design on Leah's legs. With a special needs child a person needs to be inventive in looking at everyday products to accomodate our children.
