Development of Stance Control Orthotic Knee Joint for Improvement of KAFO User

Abstract

    Traditional knee-ankle-foot Orthosis causes irregularities and energy waste because it restricts knee bending when walking. High costs, size, and complexity limit accessibility.To fabricate a low-cost Stance Control Orthotic Knee Joint that allows free knee motion during a swing and resists knee flexion during stance.This was an experimental case study. A 24-year-old male with a paralyzed right leg due to polio was included. Tinetti scale and customized questionnaire were used to assess the risk of falls, dynamic balance, and patient satisfaction.The patient's dynamic balance improved and the risk of falling was also reduced, and the patient was delighted with the use of (SCKAFO).The newly developed stance-control orthotic knee joint offers a more affordable and effective solution, enhancing mobility and quality of life rather than an existing one.
