Title:
KAFO lever lock
Text:
I'm looking for the manufacturer of an orthotic knee locking mechanism I
think I've seen somewhere. It contains a single lever that you place
laterally on a double-bar KAFO with a short cable to the medial side, so that
when the patient triggers the lever, both knees unlock. This would be an
alternative to the traditional bail lock.
Thanks in advance for your responses. I, of course, will post a summary of
them.
