Ankle-foot orthosis, or AFO, is an external biochemical device that is used to support the lower limbs to stabilize the joints to control the position and motion of the ankle to compensate for weakness or correct deformities. They are also used to support weak muscles, maintain joint alignment, reduce spasticity and help accommodate the deformation.
