The ability to maintain a stable upright posture is an important factor, not only in
the initiation and the control of voluntary movement, but also in the prevention
of injury. Decreased postural control can occur because of the ankle instability.
Loss of normal sensation, such as in diabetes and other causes of peripheral

- increased sensorimotor offered by the ankle support
- postural control which is improved when ankle movement is controlled by the use of the AFO
- use of the AFO is important when ankle/foot fatigue exists
