I am considering providing a dynamic (spring loaded joints) KAFO for
a non ambulatory 41 year old spinal cord injured patient who is
developing knee and ankle contractures which are ~30 degrees flexion.
Have any of you had problems getting Medicare to acknowledge the
medical necessity of such an orthosis?
Thanks,
