Hi Lauren,
I believe any degree of ankle plantarflexor spasticity, they enter the “Yes” branch of the AFO decision tree. The subsequent selections allow for discretion regarding the severity of spasticity and how it is affecting gait. It is possible for someone to enter the “Yes” branch of the decision tree initially and have no AFO recommended.
