When exercising, should your AFO be on or off? This is a question that I hear often from patients/clients who use AFO's or are looking into using an AFO in the future. Let me answer that question for you.

Thanks so much for this. I’m getting a dynamic AFO from the Hanger clinic next week for foot drop, spacicity, and knee hypertensions.

You’re very welcome! Keep us posted with how you like it!! And yes - AFOs can help with foot drop as well as controlling the knee!

I have charcot marie tooth. I wear afos on both feet. I've done fitness bootcamp and crossfit. I also love walking. I try to remain AZ active as possible. I'm thinking of getting turbomed braces because the standard carbon fiber braces hurt my feet which has made it harder to workout.

I absolutely love your channel! Wish I had discovered it sooner. As someone who has had MS for 8 years now. Getting to the gym everyday and jogging when my legs will let me has been huge for slowing my disease I believe. Keep up the great work!

I had one custom made about 4 years ago but I noticed it was making it worse and thinking it might be making my leg weaker so I stopped using it. Now I’m thinking the Discus might work but I might be too far gone. Listening to this I know I was right about my AFO making it worse 😢

I’m actually going to one of Hanger locations next weekend. I’m very upset because I have MS but, don’t have foot drop because of MS. I twisted my ankle 2 years ago and my ligaments are done 😢
