T he integrated KAFO system was designed to give the orthotist maximum prescription-
filling capability from a minimum inventory of interconnecting modular components.
KAFO is a completely modular system for lower extremity orthoses. The Drop Lock Knee
Joints are made of the highest quality stainless steel. With the Drop Lock Ring raised and
the joint flexed, there are no sharp angles nor jutting extension stops to snag or cut clothing.
The Hosmer Ankle Joints, carefully engineered for maximum strength and durability, are
available as Dorsiflexion Assist, Free/Limited Motion, and Double Action with or without
pins. The Side Bars are secured into channels for a stronger joint construction and to help
prevent breakage when being bent. There are three stirrup systems; the Standard Shoe,
the molded UCBL Shoe Insert and the Caliper. All stirrups are made of heat treated stainless
steel.
