Sizing the TAFO

1. It is important that the splint not prevent full knee flexion.

2. Do not over tighten the straps. A finger should be able to slide between skin or dressing and strap pad.

3. Measure the calf length. Measure the posterior calf with the leg extended. Measure from the base of heel to the crease behind knee (popliteal space) for most accurate fitting.

4. Foot size: The toes should not hang over the splint.
