I am inquiring about the use of ankle foot orthoses (afo's), dynamic
foot orthoses (DAFO's). I am looking for references or people doing
studies on the biomechanics, pros and cons, advantages and disadvantages
on the use of such equipment in the pediatric population. Basically any
evidance on the efficacy of using orthoses.
Thank you in advance
