Dynamic Carbon Fiber AFOs

Dynamic Carbon Fiber AFOs (AM2019-OS14)

Material science, fabrication techniques, and clinical approaches with carbon fiber prepreg AFOs has advanced to a level that they can provide support and gait function that traditional thermoplastic AFOs and off-the-shelf AFOs cannot. Carbon fiber prepreg AFOs are able to restore stance phase propulsion, control entry into and exit out of stance phase, and maintain energy conservation during swing phase more effectively than traditional and off-the-shelf AFOs.
