Making AFO's

This is how they make Abby's AFO's


Prepping Abby for her AFO mold. She has clips attached to her stockings to keep them from falling down.


Marking pressure points!  Abby loves her 'Tattoos'!  The marks stay on her for about 2 days.


Casting the legs!!  This is the very wet and messy part! 

Ewww Abby!!! You touched the wet mold!


Phil molds AFO in correct position!          Now she is waiting for the mold to dry.


Abby helps Phil draw on her AFO mold!


This is the tickler saw! You cannot move while he does this! You have to stay perfectly still - Not even a giggle!


Opening it up!


Cutting the mold off!

ALL DONE!!!


Abby & Phil
 He has been making Abby's AFO's since she was a baby!

 

These are Abby's Ankle Foot Orthotics.  This is how she puts them on everyday.  She normally wears thin socks with the AFO's but today she wanted to do it without them on.  They also sell special AFO socks but they are $15 a pair! She wears the Markell - TM-2000 series shoe to accommodate the orthotic.  She also has a pair of Answer 2 shoes & they light up!
