The system joint provides motion control and is only allowed to be used for producing a KAFO. Every system
joint influences the orthosis' function and thus also the function of the leg. Depending on the type of orthotic
fitting and the patient's individual physical abilities, driving a motor vehicle safely should be guaranteed.

Indication
The indication for the treatment with an orthosis for the lower extremity is a pathological gait. This can be
caused, for example, by central, peripheral, spinal or neuromuscular paralyses, structurally conditioned deform-
ities/malfunctions or surgery.
The physical conditions of the patient such as muscle strength or activity level are decisive for the orthotic
treatment. A safe handling of the orthosis must be ensured.
