Abstract

A knee-ankle-foot-orthosis (KAFO) has been developed which incorporates a genucentric knee joint and a similarly designed ankle joint. This paper describes a clinical evaluation of its practical use on 120 hemiplegic patients over a six year period from 1979 to 1984. © 1984, SAGE Publications. All rights reserved.
