Orthopedic Brace Jargon

The back brace is designed to stabilize and correct various areas of the spinal column. Orthopedic braces including many types of back brace are named according to the joints of the body they help to control.

Some examples:

AFO - Ankle-Foot-Orthosis - This is a brace used to stabilize and control the ankle and foot.

KAFO - Knee-Ankle-Foot-Orthosis - This is a brace used to stabilize and control the knee, ankle, and foot.

HKAFO - You guessed it!

Thoracal-Lumbar-Sacral-Orthosis - This is a brace used to stabilize and control the spine.

Well, you get the idea.
