The KAFO Craig Scott is designed for paraplegia at T9-T12 and includes which features?

• A. KAFO: Oregon Orthotic System
• B. THKAFO: Reciprocating Gait Orthosis
• C. KAFO: Craig Scott
• D. KO: Swedish Knee Cage

Answer: (C)

The main idea is that at mid-thoracic levels (about T9–T12) a knee-ankle-foot orthosis (KAFO) can provide the necessary knee and ankle stability for standing and basic ambulation with assistive devices, without the added trunk or hip support of a THKAFO. The Craig-Scott KAFO is a specific KAFO designed for paraplegia at these levels, offering solid knee and ankle control to enable upright standing and assisted walking. It is distinct from other devices such as a THKAFO with trunk and hip components or specialized knee cages, which is why this option—the KAFO named Craig Scott—best fits the description.
