FAQ
Get the basics on orthotics to make smarter decisions
What is a lower limb orthosis?
Orthotics are not prosthetics; they support, stabilize, and improve the function of existing limbs.
Learn moreWhat's the difference between orthoses, braces, and supports?
General braces offer temporary protection, while orthotics are custom-fitted based on gait and life goals.
Learn moreWhen might an AFO be needed?
Foot drop, toe dragging, foot inversion/eversion, and poor ankle control
Learn moreCan I walk immediately after putting on the brace?
We can't make that promise. Typically, adaptation, training, and periodic review adjustments are required.
Learn moreHow long does it take to get used to wearing them for the first time?
Start gradually with short sessions in a safe environment, then have a professional adjust.
Learn moreWhat should I do if I experience tenderness or unsteadiness when walking?
Do not push through or adjust on your own; contact your orthotist for a follow-up as soon as possible.
