Leg Braces
To obtain properly functioning leg braces, have your leg braces custom made and fitted by
certified orthotists and technicians like those on staff at Plattner Orthopedic Company.
We can personally provide orthopedic leg braces to patients in Central Illinois, including
the cities of Peoria, Bloomington, Galesburg, Princeton, LaSalle-Peru, and Macomb and
surrounding areas as well as central fabrication of leg braces for others.
Orthopedic Braces and other Orthopedic Jargon
Orthopedic braces are named according to the joints of the body that they 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!
TLSO - Thoracal-Lumbar-Sacral-Orthosis - This is a brace used to stabilize and control the spine.
Well, you get the idea.
