Dear list, An 88 year old woman with severe weightbearing knee valgus has been referred to me. I suspect this is a long standing problem although now she has pain. The valgus is correctable with moderate effort and there are no foot deformities. She is not obese but has minimal hand strength. I'm wondering about list experience with the Generation 11 KAFO with your very elderly patients. This problem cannot be solved with a KO. I will need to go with a KAFO. Have some ideas but am open to your suggestions. Thanks for your help. Molly Pitcher CPO
