O&P List Enthusiasts,
I am investigating to see if there is an OTS or custom knee orthosis
designed for knee stability, prevent unwanted flexion) that can be locked in
a desired degree of flexion. Say 10 degrees of knee flexion. Manual
unlocking (perhaps locking too) I have a client that has a flexed hip and
knee gait and their ADL's would be much safe employing such a brace
unilaterally.
I do know that I can take an impression and fabricate one myself with
ratchet style joints but I am looking for outsourcing options.
Thank you and be well.
