Greetings,
I have been asked to provide a knee orthosis for a home bound ambulator. The
orthosis needs to allow for full flexion and extension of the knee at all
times and due to frequent falls from the knee buckling the device must also
be able to lock when the knee goes into a sudden flexion moment. One other
thing, the device needs to be off the shelf. Any suggestions are welcome.
