Rehabilitation for head injury

[physiobob]

Each SAFO is individually made to a plaster cast model of the patient's foot to ensure the best possible fit. The Orthosis can then be manufactured with the choice of either one or three straps and a single or full colour skin match. The device can be worn with or without socks in a normal shoe. The silicone is non-permeable; therefore it can be used in the shower or while swimming.

A good SAFO manufacturer can also make this quite light. It allows some natural movement in ankle bend that will permit small normal movement patterns to be exercised if they are available. There are also much less problems with pressure areas or rubbing that can happen with more rigid AFO's.

In short anyone that wears an AFO would wear a SAFO given the option (and money to pay for one of course). On of my clients recently went to Germany to get a new even lighter pair that have kevlar embedded in the front of the ankle. This makes them even more stabilizing whilst reducing the overall weight further.
