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

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.
