Hello,
I think the ankle foot orthosis will help to correct the foot deformity due to spasticity in cerebral palsy. Also it will help with balance and walking better. I suggest to do custom made orthosis and check every 6 months.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Edvin Selmani
