Hi All,
Have 37yo female patient with history of osteosarcoma with subsequent KOTZ
knee prosthesis.
Recent fall and subsequent fracture has resulting in patella removal.
Patient has experienced an increase in falls since.
We are investigating the possibility of stance control technology with a
custom Knee Orthosis.
The patient is reluctant to go with a KAFO set up.
The BASKO knee and the E-MAG Active are two alternatives identified so far.
Has anyone had experience with either of these systems and if so what
recommendations could be made.
Mechanical extension knee systems are also of interest however a natural
swing phase is desired.
Gas/Pneumatic/Spring extension systems that have been used effectively with
a cosmetic outcome?
Would appreciate your feedback, will circulate replies.
Thanking you in advance
