Clinical research has demonstrated that advanced microprocessor-controlled KAFOs can reduce falls by up to 80% compared with conventional devices, while improving mobility, confidence and quality of life among suitable patients.

The consequences of inadequate access extend beyond individual patients. Recent research by the Centre for Economics and Business Research estimates that 193,000 people across the UK were not receiving adequate prosthetic and orthotic care in 2025. The research suggests that addressing this wider treatment gap could generate £1.4 billion in net NHS and social care savings by 2035, alongside £631 million in additional economic output.

Innovative advances in computer-controlled leg braces are helping people with disabilities and spinal injuries walk and live more safely and independently. 

Many people who could benefit struggle to access this technology through the NHS. That's because the way orthotic care is funded and delivered has not kept pace with these groundbreaking technologies.
