The Original AFO Assist
The Original AFO Assist is used to assist people who wear an Ankle Foot Orthosis with putting on the AFO by providing support and stability. The AFO cradle can be used while sitting with your legs out straight on a bed (long sitting) or while in a chair (short sitting).
The AFO Shoe Platform is used to assist people with putting their foot in a shoe while wearing the AFO. The Foot Funnel (also included) is great for keeping the back of the shoe rigid and open wide for donning.
