Contact SupplierA KAFO (Knee-Ankle-Foot Orthosis) with auto-lock mechanism is a type of orthotic device designed to support and stabilize the knee, ankle, and foot joints. The auto-lock mechanism refers to a feature that automatically engages or locks the joint(s) in a specific position, providing added security and stability during walking or standing.
When a person wearing a KAFO with auto-lock mechanism takes a step or stands up, the device locks the knee joint in in full extension, preventing it from bendin. This helps individuals with mobility impairments or weak lower limb muscles, maintain a steady and safe posture while walking or standing.
Overall, the KAFO with auto-lock mechanism offers improved stability, reduced risk of falls, and enhanced confidence for individuals with conditions such as paralysis, muscle weakness, or joint instability affecting the lower limbs.
