@donaghec Hi there. Thomas' AFOs haven't slipped off since he was under a year old. However, our brace molder had to be trained by another professional to push in the AFO right above the back of the heel so that his foot would not slip up. You may want to think about whether or not your orthotics person is doing this - and they should keep doing it until they get it right. Ours had to keep remolding Thomas as an infant until he had one that wouldn't slip off.
My son's Afos slip off when he crawls. Does Thomas' Afos slip off alittle bit when he crawls?
