I have just seen a gentleman who experienced a unilateral femoral nerve
palsy post spinal anesthesia. He is now four months post injury and is
getting significant return of function but is still experiencing
uncontrollable buckling of the knee. I was thinking of a KAFO with offset
knee joint and a solid ankle but after seeing him I think he might be able
to get along with less hardware. Is there any knee orthosis that offers
improved resistance to knee buckling in the presence of weak quadriceps?
