A double metal upright AFO with a posterior stop at 90° is another option; however, the lack of plantarflexion during early stance phase may destabilize the knee.
This knee joint is not to be used with a knee or hip contracture or PF stop. Drop-ring (C) - Gravity brings the ring(s) into the locked position when the user stands erect with knee(s) in full extension. Ambulation may be stabilized.

The semicircular lever (bail), which attaches posteriorly, is easily engaged to unlock both joints.
The Six Determinants of Gait1 Saunders et al. began by assuming that gait is most efficient when vertical and lateral excursions of the body’s center of gravity (COG) are minimized. They identified 6 naturally occurring “determinants” in normal gait that reduced these excursions and suggested that pathological gait could be identified when these determinants were compromised. 1. Pelvic rotation in the horizontal plane - The pelvis rotates 4o to each side, which occurs maximally during double support, elevating the nadir of the COG pathway curve about 3/8”.
