Typically, orthoses are made of lightweight materials such as thermoplastics of different flexibility, now in Bahrain we will have the option to choose how our AFO is made whether it is custom hand made, Custom Cad Cam designed, or 3D Printed and it can be used for treating several conditions – Cerebral palsy, Foot Drop, neuropathy etc.
A knee orthosis (KO) is a brace worn to strengthen the knee. This brace is worn around the knee and works by relieving pressure off the part of the knee joint that is affected by ailments such as arthritis or osteoarthritis. They can also offer support for the knee and provide the stability needed to perform daily activities.
E.g Hyperextension brace , ACL & ligament injury braces, Unloader & Offloader Knee Brace for osteoarthritis
Knee Ankle Foot Orthosis (KAFO) is a orthosis that covers the entire leg in an effort to stabilize the joints and assist the muscles of the leg. While there are several common indications for such an Orthosis, muscle weakness and paralysis of the leg are the ones most frequently identified. The most common causes of muscle weakness and paralysis include:
- Poliomyelitis
- Muscular Dystrophy
- Multiple Sclerosis
- Spinal Cord Injury

A spinal orthosis is an external apparatus that is applied to the body to limit the motion of, correct deformity in, reduce axial loading on, or improve the function of a particular spinal segment of the body.
Conditions – Scoliosis, Kyphosis, injury, Compression Fractures, Scheurmans disease.
E.g – Brace for Kyphosis, Postural deformities, Hyper extension brace,Milwaukee brace etc.
Postoperative total hip orthoses sometimes are used after a total hip replacement in order to prevent the motions of hip flexion, adduction and internal rotation that can cause dislocation. In infants with developmental dysplasia of the hip, which causes hip instability, a Pavlik harness or hip abduction orthosis is used to position hips in flexion and abduction to encourage desired bone development and prevent dislocation.
Hip abduction orthoses are also used to treat children with Legg-Calve-Perthes disease.
