This paper presents a typical problem encountered by orthotists who have a great deal of exposure in pediatric orthotics. Conventional knee locking systems often require highly variable amounts of strength to operate successfully on a daily basis. Many children (and some adults) do not possess the strength or adroitness to deal with these unpredictable and often stressful lock systems. Such problems can be avoided in orthotics, and doing so can offer the child using an orthosis a greater autonomy, and reduce the stress and frustation associated with extensive bracing.
