Robolimb Prosthetics & Orthotics Clinic

A KAFO (Knee-Ankle-Foot Orthosis) is a type of orthopedic device designed to provide support, stability, and mobility to individuals with weakened or impaired lower limbs. It extends from the knee to the foot, helping to support the knee joint, control leg movement, and improve walking function. KAFOs are often used by people with conditions such as paralysis, muscular dystrophy, or neurological disorders. The device typically includes a rigid frame, joint mechanisms, and straps for secure fitting. Some KAFOs feature custom components like knee locks, hinges, or adjustable settings to meet specific functional needs and provide a comfortable fit.
