Is your child wearing an ankle foot orthosis or AFO?

If so, remember to check your child's skin at least once a day or each time, after you remove their AFO. Any areas of the skin that are red or dark from the AFO (or straps) should disappear within 30 minutes. If these marks do not disappear after 30 minutes, they can become a pressure injury. Pressure injuries can occur anywhere that the AFO touches the skin but most commonly on:
➡️ Ankle bones
➡️ Heel
➡️ Outer edge of the foot
➡️ Along the arch of the foot

If you see any red or dark spots that don't disappear or raw or blistered skin, contact your child's Orthotist as soon as possible. The AFO should be left off until the skin heals or the it has been adjusted.

If you have questions about your child's AFO, never hesitate to reach out to our team!

▶️ Daily Skin Checks
▶️ Keep Skin Clean & Dry
▶️ Use Your Liners & Socks Properly
▶️ Listen to Your Body
▶️ Keep Follow-Up Appointments
▶️ Ask for Help When You Need It

Today, we remember.
We remember the bravery and sacrifice of those who served.
We remember the lives lost, the families affected, and the lasting impact of conflict.

We are also reminded of the many who returned home carrying not just memories, but also lasting physical and emotional wounds.

To all of our veterans and active service members - thank you.

Our clinic is closed today in observance. We will reopen tomorrow on Wednesday, November 12th for regular business hours.

November is also... Movember. 🧔〰️

Each November, men across the world grow their moustaches to spark conversations around men's health - not just physical health, but also mental well-being and the importance of preventive care.

We work closely with clients navigating significant changes to their bodies. These changes are often more than just physical — they can deeply affect self-esteem, identity, and mental health.

Whether it's adjusting to a prosthesis, managing pain or finding confidence and independence again - you're not alone. This Movember, let’s reach out, check in, and start the conversation — even when it’s tough.

Here's your friendly reminder -
Weather Change = Volume Change

As temperatures drop, limb volume can change.
If your prosthesis suddenly feels loose or tight, it may be due to natural swelling or shrinking from cooler weather. Adjust your socks—or reach out for a fit check.

Stay warm and steady this season!

When your child wears an orthosis, it is not just a device - it is part of their daily life. And you, as a caregiver, play a vital role in making sure it supports them in the best way possible.

Here are a few simple things you can do:

🗣️Explain the Purpose: Help them understand the benefits of wearing their orthosis to foster a sense of responsibility and cooperation

🦿Let them Personalize their Orthosis: Let them choose their own design (we can help with that!) to make it a bit more fun to wear

👀 Skin Check: Look for any redness or pressure spots once a day - especially after play or naps

⚽ Play is Powerful: Encourage gentle movement and play to help your child stay active, confident, and engaged

🧼 Keep it Clean: Follow your orthotist's cleaning instructions to keep the device clean and working well

Remember - our Orthotics team is here to support you and your child.

Staying flexible and strong helps you move with more ease, stability, and comfort—whether you're walking, standing, or simply lying down.

Here are some safe and effective stretches and strengthening exercises for individuals with a prosthetic leg.

Always check with your Prosthetist (or Physical Therapist) if you have any concerns or before starting something new. Remember, our Prosthetists are always here to help!

10/14/2025

Did you know that doing simple stretching exercises every day can make a big difference in how you move—and rest?

Taking time to stretch helps ensure you can fully straighten your knee and hip, which makes walking smoother and even lying in bed more comfortable.

Tight muscles can impact how well your prosthesis or orthosis works—so gentle daily stretching is one small habit that can support your long-term mobility.

October is Disability Employment Awareness Month (DEAM)

DEAM is a key opportunity to focus on disability inclusion in Canadian workplaces. This month, we join organizations across Canada to celebrate the skills, strength, and contributions of people with disabilities in the workplace—and recognize the importance of access, inclusion, and opportunity for all.

At WinPO, we see every day how mobility devices like prostheses and orthoses support independence—not just at home, but on the job and in the community.

✅ Whether it's standing for long shifts
✅ Navigating office spaces
✅ Or returning to work after limb loss

We’re here to support your goals—because everyone deserves to thrive at work.

Let’s continue building a world where access isn’t the exception—it’s the standard.
