Hip-Knee Ankle Foot Orthotics (HKAFO)
Hip-Knee-Ankle-Foot Orthosis (HKAFO)
At Dar Al Rehab, we design and fit Hip-Knee-Ankle-Foot Orthoses (HKAFOs) that provide complete lower limb, hip, and pelvic stability. These advanced braces are ideal for individuals with severe muscle weakness or paralysis, offering essential support for standing, posture control, and limited walking.

- Paraplegia or spinal cord injuries

- Neural-tube defects (e.g., spina bifida)
- Pediatric neuromuscular disorders
- Conditions requiring full lower limb and pelvic stabilization
Benefits
