Hi Listmembers,
I have a smaller lady with post polio and genu-recurvatum with valgus
deformity and a fused (triple arthrodesis) ankle. She's asking about an
electronically activated joint that will work with her locked ankle.
Is there an electronic stance control KAFO that can handle the deformity and
work with no ankle motion? I know that the Horton joint can accommodate
both, but the patient says she would prefer electronic.
Thank you!
