My understanding is that an AFO is a plastic orthotic leg, or an ankle-foot orthosis. It helps with stabilising. My understanding is that they cost $1,700. How does the NDIS calculate the cost or understand what the cost of a prosthesis such as this is? What would be the usual process for an NDIS planner if they wanted to include that in a plan? How would they seek to determine what that costs?
