Knee-Ankle-Foot Orthosis

A Knee-Ankle-Foot Orthosis is a bracing device that extends from the thigh to the foot, providing support and stabilization to the knee, ankle, and foot. A KAFO is typically prescribed for people with conditions such as muscle weakness, joint instability, or neurological impairments that affect the lower extremities.

A KAFO usually consists of a rigid frame made of lightweight materials such as carbon fiber or metal. The frame is custom-made to ensure a proper fit and alignment for the individual's leg. Additionally, it may have adjustable hinges and straps that allow for fine-tuning and customization of the level of support.

Our production facilities in India, China, and the USA are ISO and CE certified, reflecting our dedication to upholding healthcare and regulatory guidelines.

How should a Knee-Ankle-Foot Orthosis be used?

To use a knee-ankle-foot orthosis, it is important to ensure proper fitting and positioning. Start by selecting a KAFO that matches the leg size and follows the guidance of a healthcare professional or orthotist.

Once the right KAFO is ready, begin by positioning it against the leg. Align the thigh, knee, ankle, and foot with the corresponding sections of the brace, ensuring that it is centered and aligned with the natural structure of the leg. Adjust the straps and closures to achieve a snug and secure fit, making sure they are not too tight to restrict circulation or cause discomfort.

Finally, test the stability and range of motion of the leg while the KAFO is worn to ensure that the device provides the desired support and mobility.

What precautions should be considered when using KAFO?

Maintaining good skin care is crucial. Regularly inspect the skin under the KAFO for any signs of redness, irritation, or pressure sores. Keep the skin clean and moisturized to minimize the risk of skin-related complications. If any abnormalities are noticed, such as skin breakdown or persistent irritation, promptly report them to your healthcare provider for evaluation and appropriate management.
