Ankle Foot Orthoses (AFO's) / Splints
AFO's play an important role in stabilising the foot and ankle to improve walking, especially by correcting foot drop and providing essential structural support where there is weakness or injury. They are also highly beneficial for children with mobility disorders such as cerebral palsy, where AFOs assist with alignment, improve gait patterns, support muscle function, and help promote safer, more efficient movement during growth and development. Overall, they help increase mobility, improve alignment, and reduce the risk of trips and falls — supporting safer and more confident movement for our patients of all ages.
At Frans Marx Orthotics, AFO provision is not just a routine service — it is a specialised clinical skill developed through years of hands-on experience, continuous learning, and dedication. Frans has spent countless hours refining his approach to AFO design, fitting, and optimisation to ensure each patient receives the most appropriate and effective support for their individual needs.
Commitment to excellence in orthotic care means working tirelessly to improve outcomes, comfort, and mobility for every patient who walks through the door. This depth of knowledge and passion for patient care is what makes personalised orthotic management so valuable.
We remain dedicated to providing the highest standard of orthotic support to help our patients move with confidence every day. 👣✨
