Is ₹4 lakh reasonable for a custom Ottobock carbon fiber KAFO?
I have foot drop, knee buckling, and a knee flexion contracture. I can walk without locking my knee, but I compensate by leaning forward and my gait feels unstable.
An orthotics center recommended a custom carbon fiber locked KAFO using imported Ottobock components with a movable ankle joint (Tango ankle joint). They took a cast and did walking trials/alignment adjustments.
The quoted price is around ₹4 lakh (~$4,700 USD).
For people experienced with KAFOs/orthotics:
Does this sound like a reasonable price?
Was a carbon fiber KAFO worth it for you?
Did it improve fatigue, stability, or walking efficiency?
Anything important I should verify before buying?
Thanks.
