Thank you to everyone that replied. A summary of responses is below the
original post.



Original Post ------------------------------------

I have a patient that is 74" tall 300 pounds in need of a stance control
KAFO.


Does anyone know a manufacturer of the components that are rated for 300
pounds?

The answers I am getting from different reps are that the joint doesn't
carry weight so 'it should be ok'.



'It should be ok' does not make me all that comfortable for patient care.

Three different systems were recommended



1) Fillauer SPL2

2) Horton

3) Sensor Walk



Fillauer states their SPL2 joint has no weight limit when used in the double
sidebar design.

Horton has posted a limitation of 275 pounds.

Otto Bock has a posted limit of 300 pounds for the Sensor Walk.



Thank you again for the tips and information.
