Orthomerica® Introduces the KC Knee Control Combo

Orthomerica is pleased to introduce the KC Knee Control Combo. The KC Combo KAFO extension attaches to the TC Flex and other custom AFO designs.

Practitioners managing patients with knee flexion instability in stance are often faced with the dilemma of whether the patient needs a knee ankle foot orthosis or just an AFO to correct the instability. Those with poor quadriceps may experience knee flexion in stance, especially if they lack strength and endurance. Locking up the knee all the time may interfere with the patient’s ability to actively strengthen the muscles that will provide long term stability.

The KC Combo provides opportunities for developing knee control with the AFO alone, or with the attached knee component to provide more proximal alignment and stability.

Features:
•	Ring pin fastener attaches or detaches the knee orthosis quickly without the use of tools
•	Growth adjustment option for pediatric applications
•	Available with practitioner’s choice of knee joints/locks
•	Compatible with most TC Flex and other custom AFO designs
•	Patient-selected transfer patterns
•	Total contact design fabricated from the practitioner’s impression of the limb
