HKAFO – Hip Knee Ankle Foot Orthosis

At JKR International, we specialize in the design and fabrication of fully customized Hip-Knee-Ankle-Foot Orthoses (HKAFOs) to address complex mobility challenges. Our HKAFOs are precision-engineered to provide stability, control, and support for individuals requiring comprehensive lower limb bracing.

What is an HKAFO?
A Hip-Knee-Ankle-Foot Orthosis (HKAFO) is an advanced orthotic device designed to control motion and provide support across the hip, knee, ankle, and foot. As an extension of a KAFO, our HKAFOs integrate a hip joint mechanism connected to a pelvic band. For patients requiring additional postural support and trunk stability, our custom design can be further extended to include lumbar or thoracic spinal components.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Comprehensive Control: Provides multi-joint stability for the entire lower extremity, aiding in stance control and ambulation for individuals with significant muscle weakness or neurological involvement.

• Custom-Fit Design: Each HKAFO is meticulously crafted from a patient-specific model to ensure optimal fit, comfort, and biomechanical alignment.

• Modular Versatility: Our design philosophy allows for a tailored approach. The system can range from a standard hip-pelvic configuration to a full trunk-hip-knee-ankle-foot orthosis, incorporating spinal segments as needed for enhanced core support.

• Superior Craftsmanship: Built with durable, lightweight materials and high-quality components to ensure longevity and reliable performance for the user.
