Patient Presentation-Driven Solutions

Extended proximal control for medial/lateral alignment
Plantarflexion block to reduce toe walking and knee hyperextension
Wraparound control for forefoot, midfoot, and hindfoot alignment
Common Questions about the DAFO 3
The DAFO 3 is designed for younger, smaller patients who could benefit from a firm plantarflexion block while having free dorsiflexion range, or for younger patients who could benefit from supportive forefoot, midfoot, and hindfoot control.
The DAFO 3 is designed without an anterior strap to allow for the use of dorsiflexion. A brace with more ankle control, such as a solid ankle AFO, blocks the ability to use dorsiflexion.
The DAFO 3 is a plantarflexion block design that blocks the use of plantarflexion while offering full access to voluntary dorsiflexion.
Each DAFO 3 is custom-fabricated from a fiberglass cast or 3D scan for a snug, accurate fit with the desired alignment angles.
