Stance Control Knee Joints

Stance Control knee joints are the newest technology for use in KAFO”s. The Knee joints automatically lock while the leg is in contact the ground, providing safety and stability and unlock when the leg is swinging forward, dramatically improving the walking pattern, efficiency and reducing energy expenditure.
