Stance Control Knee/Ankle/Foot
Stance control orthosis differ from conventional KAFOs in that they allow for knee flexion during the swing phase and locking during the stance phase of ambulation.
Why Try Stance Control?
A traditional KAFO can lock the knee in full extension, which provides stability but causes patients to walk with a gait deviation. A stance control orthosis allows the knee to bend during the swing phase of the gait cycle and blocks knee flexion for stability. This allows for a more normal gait.
