3. Posterior Leaf Spring
4. DAFO ("dynamic" AFO)
5. KAFO
, BOP Practical Review Exam
Identify: Solid ankle AFO
Material: Thermoplastic (molded)
Function control PF, DF, med, lat
what is appropriate for levels of spasticity (such as severe Solid ankle AFO
spasticity)
What controls PF, DF, Med , Lat? Solid ankle AFO
what are solid ankle AFOS made of? Thermoplastic (molded)
Identify: Articulated AFO
Identify: Articulated AFO
Material: Thermoplastic
what phase of the gait cycle is the posterior lear used? swing phase (not for stance control)
controls pf in swing
, BOP Practical Review Exam
Material: Thermoplastic
Components of an Articulated AFO: PF STOP
DF ASSIST
Pin the front of an articulated AFO means DF STOP
Pin in the back of an articulated AFO means: PF STOP
what AFO is appropriate for all levels of spasticity Solid AFO
(including severe)?
should PLS or articulated AFOs be used for severe No! Severe spasticity = solid AFO
spasticity?
Solid AFOs controls what joint(s)? PF/DF → talocrural joint
Medial–lateral (inv/ev) → subtalar joint (STJ)
articulated AFOs controls what joint(s)? PF/DF → talocrural joint
Medial–lateral (inv/ev) → subtalar joint (STJ)
PLS controls what joint(s)? Talocrural joint → PF/DF
DAFO controls what joint(s)? Talocrural joint → PF/DF
Subtalar joint (STJ) → inversion/eversion (M-L control)
Ankle Stirrup controls what joint(s)? STJ only → inversion/eversion
CAM Walker Boot controls what joint(s)? Talocrural joint → PF/DF
Also limits overall ankle motion (global immobilization)
SMO (Supramalleolar Orthosis) controls what joint(s)? STJ primarily → M-L control
- allows PF/DF (talocrural motion)
Swedish Knee Cage controls what at the knee? prevents hyperextension
