Hello Listserv,
We have a postpolio patient who has worn an Oregon KAFO for many years.
Becker has informed us that they have discontinued the Oregon KAFO and will
no longer be making them. We have heard the same story from another
clinician in the area, and none of us know where to go from here. I
understand there is a patent on the design so it cannot be made exactly the
same by another company. Does anyone know of a central fab willing to make
a similar style KAFO? Any ideas would be appreciated!
