Ankle Foot Orthoses (AFOs) are specialised braces designed to support the foot and ankle, improve alignment, and assist with walking. They are commonly used for patients experiencing weakness, instability, or reduced control in the lower limb.
At The Foot Clinics, we assess and prescribe AFO bracing across Albury, Wodonga and Wagga Wagga, helping patients regain stability, improve mobility, and move with greater confidence in everyday life.
AFO bracing involves the use of a custom or prefabricated device that supports the foot and ankle. These braces are designed to control movement, improve alignment, and assist with walking where strength or function is reduced.
They are commonly used for conditions affecting muscle control, nerve function, or joint stability.

An AFO brace is used to support the foot and ankle when there is weakness, instability, or reduced control. It is commonly prescribed for conditions such as foot drop, ankle instability, neurological conditions, or after injury to improve walking and reduce the risk of falls.
This depends on your condition and level of support required. Some patients benefit from prefabricated braces, while others require a fully customised device to achieve the best fit, comfort, and function.
Modern AFO braces are designed to be lightweight and comfortable while still providing the necessary support. Your podiatrist will ensure the brace fits correctly and works with your footwear.
In most cases, yes. However, you may need slightly more supportive or roomy footwear to accommodate the brace comfortably. Guidance will be provided to ensure the best fit.
