Kinetic Research designs and manufactures carbon fiber orthotics and prosthetics. Our patented technology and proprietary designs make our braces lighter, stronger and more flexible than standard carbon fiber devices. The key is the Dynamic Energy Return Strut (D.E.R.S.) providing flexibility that absorbs and releases kinetic energy. This patented strut flexes and absorbs weight loads well past the point where standard carbon fiber braces fail and break. This next generation technology is a great solution for drop foot as a result of a sports injury, stroke, surgery, illness or disease. In addition to our AFO devices, we custom craft knee ankle foot orthoses KAFO and knee orthoses KO all made in the U.S.A.
