SPECIALTY BRACES
Specialty braces are custom-designed AFO solutions created to address specific orthopedic and neuromuscular conditions requiring specialized support and control. These braces offer tailored assistance for patients with unique needs, such as severe ankle instability, joint misalignment, or restricted mobility, often associated with conditions like arthritis, muscular dystrophy, or post-operative recovery.
Constructed from durable materials with adjustable features, specialty braces provide targeted stabilization, limit unwanted motion, and promote safer, more functional movement. Each device is fully customizable, allowing healthcare providers to deliver precise support that adapts to the patient’s particular therapeutic and biomechanical requirements.
Custom-Made AFO Braces
At Forward Motion Medical, each custom Ankle-Foot Orthosis (AFO) brace is carefully crafted using precise molds of the patient’s foot and lower leg, ensuring a secure fit and individualized support. Unlike generic, off-the-shelf braces, our AFOs are entirely customized to match each patient’s anatomy and specific therapeutic needs.
We use standard templates as an initial guide, but every detail of the AFO—from material selection and flexibility to alignment and fit—is tailored to the patient. This full customization empowers doctors to address precise mobility challenges and comfort needs, providing targeted stability and promoting a more natural gait.
