Abstract
The purpose of this case series was to describe an alternative resting ankle foot orthosis for range of motion maintenance in patients who were intolerant or inappropriate for traditional heel-relief ankle foot orthoses due to impaired soft tissue integrity of the posterior lower leg or heel post major burn injury. Anterior panel ankle foot orthoses were fabricated on 2 pediatric patients ages 8 and 11 years old with major burn injuries. Both patients experienced improvements in dorsiflexion range of motion to at least 0°. Neither patient experienced adverse effects that could be attributed to the ankle foot orthoses. The anterior panel ankle foot orthosis described in this case series appeared to be safe and effective for the included patients. Clinicians can use this information to assist with fabrication of alternative resting ankle foot orthoses for patients who are inappropriate for traditional methods of ankle contracture prevention and management.
