HKAFO  The term HKAFO is an acronym that stands for hipknee-ankle-foot-orthosis and describes the part of the body that this device encompasses. This device is basically a KAFO with the addition of a hip joint and pelvic section.  The addition of the hip joint and pelvic section provides control to selected hip motions. These selected motions about the hip are front to back, side to side, and rotation. One reason the hip section is added to a KAFO is to reduce or minimize the risk of the hip moving out of proper position or dislocating.  Another common reason is to stabilize the hip and lower spine in cases where the patient is weak or paralyzed. One common application of HKAFO is RGO, or, reciprocal gait orthosis, which helps move one hip upon moving the other hip and encouraging a normal gait.

KNOW YOUR ACTIVITY LEVEL : Level One(K1) The patient has the ability or potential to use a prosthesis for transfers or ambulation on level surfaces at fixed cadence. This is typical of a household ambulator or a person who only walks about in their own home. Level Two(K2) The patient has the ability or potential for ambulation with the ability to traverse lowlevel environmental barriers such as curbs, stairs or uneven surfaces. This is typical of the limited community ambulator. Level Three(K3) The patient has the ability or potential for ambulation with variable cadence. A person at level 3 is typically a community ambulator who also has the ability to traverse most environmental barriers and may have vocational, therapeutic or exercise activity that demands prosthetic use beyond simple locomotion. Level Four(K4) The patient has the ability or potential for prosthetic ambulation that exceeds basic ambulation skills, exhibiting high impact, stress or energy levels. This is typical of the prosthetic demands of the child, active adult or athlete.

A pneumatic knee joint is a type of artificial knee joint that uses compressed air to assist with movement and support. it use in above knee prosthesis . feature :- Dynamic Movement: Pneumatic systems allow for smooth and adaptive movements, mimicking natural knee motion. A typical pneumatic cylinder consists of a cylinder barrel, a piston, seals, and end caps. It may also include ports for air input and output. Compressed air is introduced into the cylinder through an inlet port. This air is typically generated by an air compressor. As the compressed air enters the cylinder, it pushes against the piston. This pressure causes the piston to move in one direction (extend or retract) depending on the configuration of the cylinder. When the piston reaches the end of its stroke, the air can be vented out through an exhaust port, allowing the piston to return to its original position. This can happen either automatically or through a control system. The motion can be controlled using valves that regulate the flow of air into and out of the cylinder, allowing for precise control of the piston’s movement. Lightweight Design: Pneumatic components can be lighter than traditional mechanical parts, improving comfort for the user. Shock Absorption: The system can absorb impact, reducing stress on other joints and enhancing overall mobility.

Charcot foot, which is a condition that affects the bones in the foot and ankle and often leads to joint deformities and instability, specialized insoles can be crucial in providing support and preventing further damage. Here are a few types of insoles that might be used: Custom Orthotics: These are specially designed to match the unique contours of your feet. They help distribute pressure evenly, stabilize the foot, and prevent further deformities. A podiatrist or orthotist can create these based on a detailed assessment of your foot structure and needs. Offloading Insoles: These are designed to reduce pressure on specific areas of the foot. For Charcot foot, offloading insoles can help redistribute pressure away from the affected areas to help prevent ulcers and further complications. Rocker Sole Insoles: Rocker soles have a rounded heel-to-toe transition which can help reduce stress on the foot while walking. This can be particularly helpful for individuals with Charcot foot to improve gait and reduce discomfort. Cushioned Insoles: Providing additional cushioning can help absorb shock and reduce the impact on the foot. This can be beneficial if you experience pain or discomfort due to Charcot foot. Rigid Insoles: Sometimes, a more rigid insole is needed to offer strong support and prevent excessive movement of the foot, which can be helpful in managing the condition and preventing further deformity.

How we make • We custom -make each finger prosthesis and hand prosthesis in our own laboratory ensuring high quality and individual design. The process requires 4 to 5 appointments which involve these steps: • We make molds of the hands using gentle materials. • We modify the patient model and fabricate a diagnostic test socket to evaluate fit. • We carefully sculpt the shape of the prosthesis in wax as we establish a natural contour. • When the sculpture is complete, we fabricate a durable mold which allows us to reproduce the silicone prosthesis. • We have you try on a prototype version of the prosthesis and will make modifications until a secure fit is achieved. • We back -paint the fingernail for a natural appearance. • We meticulously paint every skin detail using your color formulae in your mold. • We check the finger or hand prosthesis for precise fit, and delicately paint color details, such as freckling, onto the surface. • We demonstrate wear and care instructions so that you can use your prosthetic finger or hand with confidence.

AFO with Tamarac Ankle joint  The Tamarack Flexure Joint is recognized and used worldwide in the orthotic & prosthetic industry due to its high strength tension load bearing element, which provides smooth articulation and unmatched durability. Tamarack Flexure Joints are lightweight, cost effective, and easy to install in custom and semi-custom thermoplastic and laminated orthopedic bracing applications.

A Knee-Ankle-Foot Orthosis (KAFO) is a custom made brace that starts above the knee and extends all the way down the leg to the end of the toes. These braces will normally include a knee joint and possibly an ankle joint as well. A KAFO is prescribed by your physician when there is significant weakness and/or instability at the knee and ankle joints. The KAFO will allow patients to stand by locking the knee joint in the brace when the thigh muscles are too weak to support the knee. This brace can also reduce significant knee hyperextension (genu recurvatum) during the gait cycle. KAFOs can be extended to the hip to provide additional support to the hip joint if necessary.  The KAFO is commonly used in the treatment of: 1-Blount’s Disease 2-Genu Recurvatum 3-Post-Polio 4-Spinal Cord Injury 5-Arthrogryposis 6-Cerebral Palsy 7-Polio 8-Spina Bifida  At your initial assessment you will meet with your Orthotist to go through a complete assessment of your strength and range of motion and undergo an observational gait analysis. There are many different designs of KAFOs, each with different functions and levels of support. In collaboration with your Orthotist at OrthoProActive and your health team, we will determine which KAFO design will help to provide you with the best functional outcomes.

KAFO with Offset Knee Joint drop lock type  A knee-ankle-foot orthosis (KAFO) consists of a plastic AFO or an AFO with metal uprights, a mechanical knee joint, and a plastic thigh cuff or 2 metal thigh bands. KAFO’s can be used in quadriceps paralysis or weakness to maintain knee stability and control flexible genu valgum or varum.  KAFO’s are also used to limit the weight bearing of the thigh, leg, and foot with quadrilateral or ischial containment brim. A KAFO is more difficult to don and doff than an AFO, so it is not recommended for patients who have moderate-to-severe cognitive dysfunction.  The most common causes of muscle weakness include: -Poliomyelitis -Muscular Dystrophy -Multiple Sclerosis -Spinal cord injury
