Knee Ankle Foot Orthotics (KAFO): Comprehensive Leg Support

KAFOs offer stability from the foot to the thigh, making them ideal for complex mobility challenges like muscular dystrophy or spinal cord injuries.

  • Functionality: By combining ankle, knee, and foot support, KAFOs improve walking ability and reduce the risk of deformities.
  • Design: These mechanical leg supports feature adjustable joints and strong frameworks for controlled movement and long-term wear.
  • Benefits: Enhance leg restoration by supporting muscle function and joint alignment.

Hip Knee Ankle Foot Orthotics (HKAFO): Support for the Entire Leg

  • Comprehensive Support: Extending from the hip to the foot, these orthotics leg systems are often used for individuals with paralysis or severe muscle weakness.
  • Usage: Commonly recommended for artificial lower limb implants users or those with neuromuscular diseases.
  • Advanced Design: Features such as locking joints and pelvic bands ensure postural support and enable assisted walking.

Foot Orthotics: Foot Alignment

  • Functionality: Great for conditions like flat feet or plantar fasciitis, they also help distribute body weight more evenly.
  • Customisation: These artificial lower limb implants are designed based on gait analysis and pressure mapping for accuracy.
  • Applications: Ideal for those needing subtle corrections without full leg bracing.

  • Who can benefit from using lower-limb orthotics?
    Individuals with lower limb impairments, such as those with foot deformities, ankle instability, knee injuries, or hip weakness, can benefit from lower limb orthotics. They are also useful for conditions such as plantar fasciitis, muscular dystrophy, polio, and spinal cord injuries.
  • What are ankle foot orthotics (AFO)?
    Ankle Foot Orthotics (AFO) support the ankle and foot, improving stability and aiding in proper gait. They help control the position and motion of the ankle, assist with walking, and reduce the risk of falls.
  • How are knee ankle foot orthotics (KAFO) different from AFO?
    Knee Ankle Foot Orthotics (KAFO) extend from the foot to the thigh, providing support for the knee, ankle, and foot. They are used for conditions affecting the knee and lower leg, offering comprehensive leg support and stability.
  • What are Hip Knee Ankle Foot Orthotics (HKAFO)?
    Hip Knee Ankle Foot Orthotics (HKAFO) provide extensive support from the hip down to the foot. They are used for significant lower limb weakness or paralysis, helping with standing and walking by offering full lower limb support.
  • What conditions can foot orthotics help manage?
    Foot orthotics help manage conditions such as plantar fasciitis, flat feet, and arch pain. They redistribute pressure on the foot, correct biomechanical imbalances, and provide cushioning for better foot alignment and comfort.
  • How are lower-limb orthotics customised?
    Lower limb orthotics are custom-made to fit the individual's specific anatomy and needs. This customisation ensures maximum comfort and effectiveness, with orthotics often being moulded to the patient's foot, ankle, knee, or hip.
  • What materials are used in lower-limb orthotics?
    Lower limb orthotics are typically made from lightweight and durable materials such as thermoplastics and carbon fibre. These materials provide the necessary support and comfort while being easy to wear for extended periods.
