Abstract
Persons with lower extremity paralysis use a knee-ankle-foot orthosis (KAFO) that maintains their knee joint in the extended position to prevent giving way. However, because the knee joint is locked by the KAFO, it is not easy for the persons to move forward their involved lower extremity during the swing phase. They often desired such knee joint as it maintained an extended position of the knee joint during the stance phase and did not restrict extension during the swing phase. Therefore, we developed the Simple Stance-Control System (SSCS). This SSCS would enable persons with lower extremity paralysis to control their lower extremity while walking without giving way.
