Utilizing Orthoses to Optimize Patient Outcomes
Patients who have been restricted to using crutches or wheelchairs can achieve a whole new level of safety and a more natural gait than they had before. Research has shown that patients can get better function, satisfaction, and safety from a microprocessor controlled device than from a traditional knee ankle foot orthosis.*
Find out more about how microprocessor-controlled technology is changing the KAFO landscape during this presentation and course. In addition, Ottobock AFO, KAFO and bracing solutions will be presented.
