Plastic AFOs can be made rigid(unbending), or with a hinge at the ankle. The hinge can allow for both free plantarflexion(downward motion) and free dorsiflexion motion(upward motion). Alternatively, hinged AFOs can be made that allow free dorsiflection motion but prevent plantarflexion motion by incorporating a stop in the brace.
