Your fitted one sounds just like the one that just broke on me. Mine was molded resin that they fitted for my legs. We will have to pay the deductible which is $1000 for the insurance to cover 70% of the rest. We don't have that right now and I was hoping to get an off the shelf model to use while we save up for the other. Can you send a picture? It sounds like what I am looking for.

What type of AFO do (did) you have? Mine is a basic one that holds the ankle at a plus 4 and goes up to about mid shin/calf. It used to have a knee stop but it was removed some time ago. There's no metal to mine, all composite except for the velcro straps that hold it on.

Only problem is fitting was required as it was made to the leg. I have an off the shelf one that isn't as rigid as this nor is it a plus 4. I think it was 75 dollars. Would you like a picture of that one?
