Hello All,
60 year old female, stroke 10 years ago, was fit with an AFO from a
Podiatrist. She now presents with 35 deg recurvatum.
She needs a KAFO to control ankle and recurvatum. Free motion at the knee.
Are there any knee joints available that provide a soft extension stop? I
don't want her to complain about the clicking when she hits the extension
stop. It has been years since I needed to fit a KAFO without a lock and
figured someone may have come up with a solution to my problem in that time.
Thanks.
