A knee-ankle-foot orthosis (KAFO) is a lower limb orthosis used for stability and control, covering the knee, ankle, and foot joints. Structure: A typical KAFO consists of a thigh sleeve, a calf sleeve, a footplate (shoe or footrest), and metal or carbon fiber struts connecting and securing these parts, joints (knee hinges, ankle hinges), and straps (such as thigh straps, calf straps, pelvic straps, etc.). Core Purpose: To restrict or assist lower limb joint movement, provide support, assist in weight-bearing, improve gait, and prevent or correct deformities.

A posture corrector is an elastic or adjustable band worn on the torso, typically across the shoulders and back. Its purpose is to correct poor posture such as rounded shoulders and kyphosis by physically prompting and gently pulling the shoulders back, opening the chest cavity. A posture corrector can serve as a useful "assistive tool" and "reminder," especially suitable for use when maintaining a fixed posture for extended periods (such as while working or studying), helping you to develop awareness.

Sports protective gear can be categorized into multiple levels of functionality, from basic to advanced. Specifically, these functions include:

A lumbar support, as the name suggests, is a sports brace used to protect the lower back. It is far more than just "a belt," but rather a specialized piece of equipment with different designs, functions, and applicable scenarios depending on different needs.

A fracture brace is an external medical device used to immobilize, support, and protect a limb that requires stabilization due to fractures, ligament injuries, or surgery. It has largely replaced some traditional casts due to its detachable, lightweight, breathable design and ease of observation.

The primary function of lower limb orthoses is to improve lower limb function, correct deformities, or assist in rehabilitation through external support and mechanical adjustment. Their core functions include providing stability, correcting abnormal posture, reducing joint load, promoting injury repair, and assisting in the recovery of walking ability. They are suitable for patients with fractures, arthritis, muscle weakness, congenital deformities, and other conditions.

The brace for tibia and fibula fractures is selected based on the fracture type, location, and stage of recovery. Common options include plaster casts, adjustable braces, and knee or ankle fixation braces. A specific plan should be developed after evaluation by a physician to provide stability, promote healing, and reduce complications.

Ankle fractures are not uncommon in daily life. Imagine accidentally twisting your ankle and finding out it's fractured. This can be very distressing. Ankle fractures are common and serious injuries, accounting for approximately 17.6% of lower limb fractures. Their incidence is increasing year by year, especially among the elderly and women. Currently, for stable ankle fractures, the commonly used non-surgical treatments are plaster fixation and removable brace fixation. Traditional plaster fixation can promote early fracture healing, but it is also accompanied by complications such as skin ulcers, ankle stiffness, and deep vein thrombosis (DVT); while removable braces have the advantages of early activity and easy cleaning.
