Brands Mentioned: ‪@Billyfootwear‬ ‪@newbalance‬ @goplae ‪@nike‬ ‪@STRIDERITE‬ What are AFOs? "(AFOs) are among the most commonly prescribed lower limb orthoses. They are custom-made for each individual to encompass the foot, ankle, and leg, finishing just below the knee." What are SMOs? "An SMO (Supramalleolar Orthosis) **supports the foot just above the ankle bone or malleolus. SMOs are prescribed for patients who have soft, flexible, flat feet (pes planovalgus). They are worn mainly by children. The SMO is designed to maintain a vertical or neutral heel while also supporting the arches of the foot." #AdaptiveShoes First time here? 👉 https://bit.ly/NewToGLifeXL Check out the previous video 👉    • Take Me Out To The Miracle League   🔔 Subscribe: http://bit.ly/GoodmanLifeXL About Us: We are the Goodmans.
