I have a patient who has had MS for 20 years and is now experiencing some falls due to a right drop foot. She wants me to help her and I have advised an Ankle foot orthotic to help with dorsiflexion. She wants me to provide this for her even though I have said I have not issued patients with these before. She has a fairly mobile foot and generally walks by utilising her quads to lift her lower leg, but when she is tired etc she finds she trips and is prone to falling. I would be grateful of any advice anyone has on this subject, i.e which AFO is good to use, do I go for a standard swedish AFO or should I beware of anything in particular.
