Ankle Range of Motion (ROM) Measurements for an Ankle Foot Orthosis (AFO)

You are told that you have foot drop and need an AFO. Does the Physical Therapist measure your ankle range of motion? If so, in what position? Is that information shared with the orthotist and is there a discussion among the three of you with your caregiver? I find that stroke survivors do not wear there AFOs because it does not fit properly. The ankle positions in which it is worn is rarely measured. The optimum ankle range of motion has to be set in the AFO so the heel will be in properly placed as the leg, ankle and foot moves during functional movements such as sit to stand, walking, squating, kneeling and stair negotiation. In this video, I recommend some non-traditional positions that ankle range of motion should be measured to get the best fitting and functioning AFO for safe mobility. #anklefootorthosisconsultant #anklerangeofmotion #equinovarus #neurophysicaltherapist #hemiplegicgait
