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.

A static ankle-foot orthosis (AFO) is an orthopedic device designed to support, align, and improve the function of the ankle and foot. Unlike dynamic AFOs, which allow for movement, static AFOs are rigid or semi-rigid and provide fixed support to maintain the position of the foot and ankle. Key Features Design and Materials: Static AFOs are typically made from materials such as plastic or carbon fiber. These materials create a sturdy framework that is custom-molded to the individual's foot and leg, ensuring a proper fit and maximum support. Purpose: The primary goals of a static AFO are to correct or prevent deformities, provide stability, and relieve pain. They are commonly used to manage conditions such as: Drop Foot: A condition where the foot cannot be lifted properly, making walking difficult. Cerebral Palsy: A disorder characterized by muscle stiffness and control issues that affect gait and foot positioning. Stroke: To assist with walking by supporting the affected leg and foot. Post-Surgical Recovery: To immobilize the ankle and foot after surgery, promoting proper healing. Components: Footplate: Covers the sole of the foot and provides essential support. Calf Strap: Secures the AFO to the leg, usually adjustable for comfort. Padding: Often lined with foam or other cushioning materials to enhance comfort and prevent skin irritation. Benefits Improved Function: Helps individuals maintain or enhance their walking ability by keeping the foot in a functional position. Injury Prevention: Reduces the risk of falls and injuries by stabilizing the foot and ankle. Deformity Management: Prevents or corrects deformities by maintaining proper alignment of the foot and ankle. Fitting and Customization For optimal effectiveness, static AFOs are custom-fitted to each individual. This usually involves taking precise measurements or molds of the foot and leg to ensure the device supports the unique anatomical structure and needs of the user. In summary, a static AFO is managing various foot and ankle conditions by providing fixed support and alignment. Its success depends on a proper fit and regular use, making it an essential component of many orthopedic and rehabilitation strategies.  Address：  House NO -27, Gita Nagar, Society, Opposite Sanghvi Tower, Adajan Rd, Adajan, Surat, Gujarat 395009  Flat no. 1, Laxmi Mahal Apartment, 2163, near Neelayam Theatre, Sadashiv Peth, Pune, Maharashtra 411030  Plot No 17, 40, Rajdanga Sarat Pk Rd, near MEGHALAYA HOUSE, next to Pearl dental clinic, Shantipally, Block-BA, P.S:, Kasba, Kolkata, West Bengal 700107  46, Mona Shopping Center,, Andheri West,, near Navrang Theater, Mumbai, Maharashtra 400053 9377466476,8128996476 evolution healthcarepvt ltd

 AFO Leaf Spring is a pre-fabricated polypropylene ankle-foot orthosis designed to support flaccid drop foot. It provides a semi- rigid section for toe clearance and support, yet has a thin, flexible foot plate for easy trimming.  It is useful very mild foot drop case where minimal support is required.  It only work when patient is not heavy and light in weight

Foot Sensor Knee joint KAFO Indian Made  Stance control recently listed its products on IndiaMART to reach out to Patients and Doctors all across the world with its products.  Products:  Waltronic Stance Control Electro-Magnetic Knee ankle foot orthoses (KAFO)  Waltronic Stance Control Electronic KAFO  A foot sensor will help to lock and unlock the knee with proper timing to give natural gait.  It has battery which need regular charging 4 to 6 hour to operate the orthosis

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

Genu varum (bowlegs) and genu valgum (knock-knees) are common knee deformities in children that often resolve naturally as they grow. Genu Varum (Bowlegs): In this condition, the knees are apart while the feet and ankles are together, creating an outward curve. It’s typical in infants and toddlers (1-3 years old) and usually improves by age 3 or 4. If severe or persistent, orthotics or braces may be used to support proper alignment and guide bone growth. Genu Valgum (Knock-Knees): Here, the knees touch but the feet are apart. It is common in children aged 3-5 and typically corrects itself over time. If it persists, orthotics or braces may be used to improve alignment. Orthotics and Braces: Orthotics are shoe inserts that correct foot misalignment, potentially improving knee positioning. Braces or splints may be used in severe cases to guide proper bone growth. Braces: In more severe cases of genu varum or genu valgum, braces or splints might be used to help guide the bones to grow in the correct position. These devices are typically used when there's a concern about the condition not self-correcting over time. Braces may be worn during activities to promote proper alignment during movement.

KAFO with drop lock Imported quality:  The term KAFO is an acronym that stands for Knee-Ankle-Foot Orthosis and describes the part of the body that this device encompasses. This device extends from the thigh to the foot and is generally used to control instabilities in the lower limb by maintaining alignment and controlling motion. Instabilities can be either due to skeletal problems: broken bones, arthritic joints, bowleg, knock-knee, knee hyperextension or muscular weakness and paralysis. With this in mind, the indications for the use of a KAFO are many and varied and any one particular design is specific to the needs of the person it is made for.  It is very light weight and more durable.

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.
