The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of a knee and ankle foot orthosis (KAFO) on normal gait. The subjects were 9 healthy males with a mean age of 23.2 ± 1.1 (range 20-31) years. Alterations in the angles of the trunk, hip, knee, and ankle were examined during walking with and without a KAFO using a three-dimensional motion analysis system (UM-CAT II). From the results, three patterns were defined, all of which could be considered types of compensation for the limitation of motion caused by KAFO.
