Lower limb splints are often called orthosis and will be prescribed and assessed by a physiotherapist. These splints are:
- Ankle-foot Orthosis (AFO) – Fit into the trainer or shoe and are attached around the lower leg with Velcro
- Foot-up Device – Fit onto the laces of a shoe and attach around the ankle
- Resting Splint – Attaches with Velcro to the lower leg and is used at rest
- Air Cast – filled with air to stabilise the ankle
