How to insert AFO Dynamic Drop Foot Brace into shoe?

• If present, remove the insert from the shoe.
• Insert the footplate of the AFO into the shoe, if necessary grind the footplate to fit the shoeshape or adjust the shape to the contours of the foot.
• Avoid grinding excessive material from the lateral side of the footplate ensuring sufficient space between the medial strut and the medial arch of the (Drop-) foot.
• Ensure stability of the footplate on the shoe sole throughout the entire length of the shoe.
• Make sure the footplate and (or) the insert cover the entire length of the shoe to avoid AP displacement.
• If available, place the insert on top of the footplate.

How to Fit Ossur AFO Dynamic?

• Shift the AFO anterior or posterior to obtain a close fit between the distal part of the anterior shell and the lower part of the tibia.
• If the distal section of the anterior shell is too far from the leg, it may be because the heel section of the footplate is too long. Trim the footplate at the heel end and add length to the toe part of the footplate.
• The orthosis is now ready to be fitted to the patient.
