Common Questions about DAFO Tami2

DAFO Tami2 is designed for children who need mild to moderate sagittal-plane control while still maintaining natural ankle movement during walking and daily activity.

DAFO Tami2 uses dynamic hinges and a flexible shell to guide motion rather than fully restricting it, making it a good option between a free-motion brace and a rigid AFO.

Yes. By improving ankle guidance and foot positioning, it can help reduce the movement patterns that contribute to knee hyperextension during stance.
