Stance Control KAFO Suggestions

Stance Control KAFO Suggestions

I have a patient that is 74 tall 300 pounds in need of a stance control
KAFO.

 

Does anyone know a manufacturer of the components that are rated for 300
pounds?

 

The answers I am getting from different reps are that the joint doesn't
carry weight so 'it should be ok'.

 

'It should be ok' does not make me all that comfortable for patient care.

 

 

Thank you,
