The LUNA Modular AFO is a new approach to Ankle Foot Orthosis (AFO) design, targeted at young and growing children with Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia (HSP). AFOs aid individuals’ ability to walk but do not accommodate growing children, causing severe injuries. LUNA’s new modular design adapts and conforms to the child.
