Hey Chrissy – I am also struggling with AFO types and I have another question about this. The question states this person has foot drop due to common peroneal nerve injury. To me, that would mean their ankle everters may also be affected since the common peroneal connects with both the superficial and deep peroneal nerves. Would this mean there is a chance this patient has lateral ankle instability too? How do I determine from this question that they do not, since a posterior leaf spring doesn’t seem to provide support for medial/lateral instability.
