What is the Moore Balance Brace (MBB)?

The Moore Balance Brace is a doctor prescribed, custom made ankle foot orthosis (AFO) designed to fit easily into shoes.

It is part of a long-term solution to be used in combination with a Comprehensive Fall Risk Protocol which may include physical and occupational therapy, strength training, medication review, annual foot exams and footwear evaluations.
