Abstract: Ankle foot orthoses (AFO) and methods of customizing an AFO. In one embodiment, the AFO includes a carbon fiber strut that includes a carbon fiber foot plate; a formable layer that is coupled with the carbon fiber foot plate, the formable layer being formable from an initial shape to a formed shape; an inner boot, where the formable layer being formed into the formed shape is configured to be formed around geometry of portions of the inner boot; and a moldable calf piece that is configured to be attached to the carbon fiber strut. The AFO may also include a strapping system that is coupled between the moldable calf piece and the inner boot. Methods of manufacturing and customizing the aforementioned AFO are also disclosed.

Abstract: Ankle foot orthosis and methods of manufacturing an ankle foot orthosis. In one embodiment, an ankle foot orthosis is disclosed that includes a foot plate constructed to have both a trimmable portion and a non-trimmable portion. The ankle foot orthosis includes a spiral strut coupled with either the hindfoot region of the foot plate laterally of a mid-line for the foot plate or the midfoot region of the foot plate laterally of the mid-line. The spiral strut includes a transition portion that spirals by approximately sixty-five degrees (65°) over less than one-hundred sixty millimeters (160 mm) in height from the bottom surface of the foot plate. The spiral strut also includes an adjustable portion that enables a cuff coupled thereto to be height adjustable. Methods of manufacturing the aforementioned ankle foot orthoses are also disclosed.
