Check with your doctor and orthotist to verify that you can safely use the PLS AFO. The PLS AFO applies biomechanical corrective forces to the leg, increasing ambulatory performance. Your doctor/orthotist will select the proper design to maximize these benefits specific to your individual needs. Your doctor/orthotists will be there for any follow-up care, adjustments, repairs and its eventual replacement. Ask your doctor/orthotist for guidance on the use and care of your PLS AFO.

Your doctor/orthotist will determine if the PLS AFO is right for you!

Do not use the PLS AFO for ambulation or transfer if you are not capable of ambulation or transfer.
