Common Questions about DAFO KAFO
DAFO® KAFO is designed for patients who need combined control of the foot, ankle, and knee, especially when knee stability cannot be managed adequately with an AFO alone.
DAFO® KAFO can be built with different knee joint options, including Drop Lock, Free Motion, Step Lock, and Adjustable Ring Lock, depending on the patient's needs and functional goals.
Yes. It can be made in articulated or static configurations, depending on whether controlled knee motion or fixed positioning is needed.
A standard AFO focuses on the foot and ankle, while DAFO® KAFO extends support to the knee through an upper-leg framework, providing more comprehensive lower-extremity control.
The DAFO section provides customized foot alignment and ankle positioning based on the selected DAFO design, helping support the lower part of the limb within the full KAFO system.
Each orthosis is custom fabricated from a full lower-extremity cast so the alignment and fit can be tailored across the foot, ankle, and knee.
It is a good option when the patient has complex lower-extremity needs and requires both distal and proximal support in a single orthotic solution.
