I have a 4 year old with arthrogryposis. Knee flexion contractures. I had
hoped to put an adjustable knee joint on a kafo, but due to the small leg
size and varus position, I can't even mount the smallest adjustable Becker
joint medially.
I have seen some OTS orthoses with a knee joint that is mounted posteriorly.
Any idea where I could get my hands on something like this to incorporate
into KAFO? Have googled, but can't find it.
Thank you
