The following is from the above cited reference:

Torsion Cable/Strut AFO's
These are really an addition to AFO's which are designed to control abnormal flaccid rotation of the hip joints. **The AFO's are connected to a pelvic section** by hinged struts or flexible cables. They cannot be used to overcome tight hip rotational problems because there is a risk of damaging the knee joints

or, as we see above, one could say "attached to the pelvic section".
