A Knee Ankle Foot Orthosis (KAFO) is an orthopedic device extending from the thigh to the foot, providing structural support for the entire lower limb. Unlike an AFO (which only covers the ankle and foot), a KAFO controls the knee joint as well — making it essential for patients with quadriceps weakness, paralysis, or severe instability.
| KAFO Type | Best For | Price (AED) |
|---|---|---|
| Standard thermoplastic KAFO | Post-polio, mild paralysis | 8,000–15,000 |
| Carbon fibre KAFO | Active users, lightweight option | 15,000–25,000 |
| Stance control KAFO | Allows free knee flexion during swing | 20,000–35,000 |
| Microprocessor KAFO | Maximum function, SCI patients | 35,000–80,000 |
Our professionally licensed orthotists perform a comprehensive functional assessment before recommending a KAFO. The custom fabrication process includes:
