@mjmarshall - I did check out the TurboMed. The idea they fit on the outside of the shoe is interesting. Did these give you more of a "bounce" when walking and is the quality of your balance the same?

Yes - balance is equivalent with both types of AFOs. I have horrible balance without my TurboMeds (use a walker when I don’t have them on). I don’t even need to use a cane when I wear my TurboMeds. There is more flexibility in that you can rock on your foot (heel to toe) when you are walking. Not only that I don’t have to wear larger shoes to accommodate AFO insertions.
