Rebuilt Prosthetics And Orthotics

A KAFO is a long-leg orthosis that spans the knee, the ankle, and the foot in an effort to stabilize the joints and assist the muscles of the leg. While there are several common indications for such an Orthosis, muscle weakness and paralysis of the leg are the ones most frequently identified.

The most common causes of muscle weakness include:

• Poliomyelitis
• Muscular Dystrophy
• Multiple Sclerosis
• Spinal Cord Injury

Recommended for:

• Significant forefoot, mid-foot, and subtalar instability
• Global foot deviations due to low or high tone
• Foot deviations that interfere with stance and balance
• Young children with significant foot instability that need free dorsiflexion and plantar flexion for crawling, pulling to stand, and squatting

Hip–knee–ankle–foot orthoses (HKAFOs) are normally KAFOs (usually bilateral) that are attached to a hip device (pelvic band, lumbar sacral orthoses [LSO], or thoracic lumbar sacral orthoses [TLSO]) for medical conditions warranting hip control. Paralysis of hip abductor muscles is one of the most common reasons for prescribing HKAFOs. HKAFOs are usually fabricated using mechanical hip joints, most commonly made of metal. They can incorporate flexion–extension and abduction–adduction control and have free or locking joints.

The KAFO with a spring lever knee joint is typically a type of  Knee-Ankle-Foot Orthosis (KAFO) that automatically locks the knee during the stance phase (when bearing weight) and unlocks it during the swing phase (when moving the leg forward) using a mechanical system of springs, levers, and a pawl/ratchet mechanism. This design allows for a more natural and energy-efficient gait compared to traditional, fully locked KAFOs. Key Features

• Automatic Locking/Unlocking: The primary feature is the automatic engagement of the knee lock when the leg is in full extension and bearing weight (stance phase). As weight shifts off the heel during the gait cycle, the mechanism disengages, allowing the knee to bend (swing phase).
• More Natural Gait: By enabling knee flexion during the swing phase, the orthosis helps eliminate unnatural walking patterns (like hip hiking or circumduction) and reduces the risk of secondary joint problems.
• Reduced Energy Expenditure: The more physiological gait pattern significantly reduces the energy required for walking compared to a traditional locked KAFO.
• Mechanical & Non-Electronic: The function is purely mechanical, relying on body weight and a spring-loaded lever/pawl system. This removes the need for batteries, electronics, and charging, potentially making it more reliable and affordable than microprocessor-controlled KAFOs.
• Fail-Safe Mechanism: The design often includes fail-safe features to prevent unintended unlocking, ensuring stability and safety during standing and walking.
• Manual Override: Most systems include a manual release, often a pull-cable or a lever that can be operated by hand or by pressing against a chair, allowing the user to unlock the joint for sitting. 

Typical SpecificationsSpecifications can vary by manufacturer (e.g., Becker, Ottobock, Fior & Gentz) and the specific model. 

• Materials: Commonly made from a combination of lightweight yet strong materials such as stainless steel, aluminum, thermoplastics, or carbon fiber.
• Patient Weight Limit: Maximum patient weight capacities vary but often reach around 100 kg (approx. 220 lbs) or more, depending on the specific model and material used.
• Sizing: Available in various sizes (Small, Medium, Large, etc.) and often custom-fabricated from a negative impression of the affected limb for an intimate and effective fit.
• Knee Flexion: Allows for significant knee flexion during the swing phase, often around 60 degrees, to match a physiological gait pattern.
• Indications: Primarily indicated for patients with weak or absent quadriceps muscles and knee instability in the sagittal plane (e.g., due to poliomyelitis, muscular dystrophy, spinal cord injury, or stroke) who still have adequate hip flexor strength.
• Customization: Components like ankle joints and pads can be customized (e.g., free motion, fixed, or dorsiflexion assist) to address individual patient needs and provide optimal alignment and control.

Rebuilt Black Ankle Brace features industry leading support and protection in everyday sport and activity. Single strap, stretch webbing closure system ensures the proper fit for un-matched comfort and controllable compression.

The Pavlik Harness is specially designed to gently position your baby’s hips so they are aligned in the joint, and to keep the hip joint secure. Since it is almost impossible to secure one hip by itself in the harness, both hips need to be positioned in the harness. This does not mean that your baby has problems with both hips. By positioning your baby’s hips in such a way that the hip joint is aligned and stable, it will help normal growth and development of the hip joint. There are several reasons why the harness needs to be used and the doctor will explain to you why it is necessary for your baby to be in one.

Ensures comfortable fitting and help in diagnosis & treatment of patellar instability & patellofemoral pain as well as reduces pain in patella syndrome. Helps guide the patella back into proper alignment with gentle pressure from the lateral to medial direction.

The Denis Browne bar, also known as the Denis Browne splint or foot abduction orthosis, is a medical device used in the treatment of club foot. The device is named after Sir Denis Browne (1892-1967), an Australian-born surgeon at Great Ormond Street Hospital in London who was considered the father of pediatric surgery in the United Kingdom.^[1] Browne first described the device in 1934. The bar may be used as part of the Ponseti method, a series of nonsurgical techniques to address club foot.

Rebuilt Foot Drop Splint is designed to change the position of the patient foot during normal daily life. The more involved and less mobile the foot, the more “pushing” the brace must do to hold the new foot position. The wrap around design is excellent at keeping this pressure spread out over large areas. An initial break-in period is recommended to allow the skin to toughen up slightly. The foot will also begin to relax in its new position through a decrease in total pressure. After an initial break-in period of intermittent wearing for the first 2 or 3 weeks, patient adapt quickly to wearing braces full time. DAFO’s are made from a variety of plastics, depending on the chosen brace style. They are thin and flexible, yet durable under normal wear. DAFOs should be worn with shoes for walking on hard surfaces or outside.
