Very grateful to have been invited back again this year to do another lecture for ’s 2nd year class about AFO’s. Orthotists collaborate with physiotherapists often and the more we can share knowledge the more we can help patients together!

As we say goodbye to summer, this cute little one is saying hello to the new Jungle Animals transfer for Orthomerica’s STARband! Week one is in the books and mom reports that he’s taken to the helmet without any issues including zero changes to sleep schedule/habits!

My First AFO’s!
As a west coast transplant, moon mist ice cream was a flavour that I had never heard of. However after 8 yrs in NS, when a parent describes their cute little one’s shoe colour as moon mist, I can proudly say “That’s exactly what I was thinking too!”. Ocean themed AFO’s and moon mist shoes….doesn’t get anymore NS than that! Love it!!

How a Custom AFO is made. Part 2
Once a cast (called a negative) is taken, it needs to be filled with liquid plaster. Once that liquid plaster sets the negative can be peeled off and we are left with an exact copy of a leg (called a positive).
