When prescribing traditional knee-ankle-foot orthoses (KAFOs), their known limitations, such as limited function and mobility, and the requirement to walk with compensatory mechanisms, especially on non-level terrains, should be considered.For patients with compromised balance and increased risk of falling when using a traditional KAFO, a microprocessor stance and swing control orthosis (MP-SSCO) may be considered as an orthotic option to reduce their fall risk.For patients with mobility restrictions using a traditional KAFO, a MP-SSCO may be considered to improve function, mobility, reintegration into normal living, and quality of life.
