Microprocessor knee-ankle-foot orthoses (MPKAFOs) regulate stance and swing control with microprocessor sensor technology, providing stumble recovery and controlled knee flexion to reduce fall risk and increase mobility.

A KAFO is a long-leg orthosis that spans the knee, the ankle, and the foot in an effort to stabilize the joints and assist the muscles of the leg. While there are several common indications for such an Orthosis, muscle weakness and paralysis of the leg are the ones most frequently identified.

C-Brace is the world’s first mechatronic stance and swing phase control orthosis (SSCO®) system, which controls both the stance and swing phase hydraulically with microprocessor sensor technology. The functionality of conventional paralysis …

May 11, 2023 · A KAFO or knee-ankle-foot orthosis is a specially molded plastic shell with metal uprights and knee joints designed to provide corrective and supportive functions to the ankle, foot, and knee areas. It can improve posture, body alignment, mobility, and bone and muscle strength.

There are two types of jointed KAFOs: non-weight bearing and weight-bearing. Both of these orthoses can have a rigid or semi-flexible ankle. Non-weight bearing KAFOs are used for knee instability when the knee moves into flexion, hyperextension, varus or valgus. [1]

A KAFO knee brace is an innovative knee support designed to help with stability and support, allowing its users to regain their mobility and independence. Proper limb alignment and motion can be challenging after injuries, weakness, or paralysis.

KAFOs can be fabricated using our Knee Spike or most industry standard joints including mechanically or gravity actuated stance control. KAFOs are highly customizable and have many options which are listed below.

The latest innovations, whether simple or complex, offer breakthroughs for those challenged by muscle weakness and paralysis of all types. From the unique C-Brace to the innovative E-MAG Active or secure FreeWalk, our leading KAFOs help get your patients moving at the speed of life.

Knee Ankle Foot Orthoses (KAFO) are custom leg braces designed to support and stabilize the knee, ankle, and foot, enhancing mobility and safety for individuals with lower limb instabilities. These orthoses are particularly beneficial for patients with broken bones, arthritic joints, hyperextension of the knee, muscle weakness, or paralysis.

Our Prefabricated KAFO & AFO orthotic systems are readily available and less costly options compared to custom-made or other hybrid-type designs. 330-757-3569 Request a Free Quote
