| Research Abstract |
(1) A questionnaire was mailed to all members of Japan Prosthesis Association, and 52 members replied that they had ever made a custom-made orthosis, counting 829 carbon orthoses per recent 5 years. (2) Oxygen consumption was measured at the most comfortable speed while walking with a conventional KAFO(1, 650g), carbon KAFO(1, 050g) and 600g weight, and carbon KAFO in 7 healthy persons and 8 polio survivors. Weight and structure of the orthosis were important for improvement of gait efficiency in the healthy persons and structure was important for the polio survivors.
