The Zeus is the first KAFO to include dynamic, adjustable extension assistance at the knee and dorsiflexion assistance at the ankle. This newest innovation combines the Icarus Hercules KAFO and the Hermes AFO into a single, modular device. This device is designed for individuals who would benefit from having stability and adjustable assistance at both the knee and ankle joints, while maintaining the ability to quickly detach the AFO and KO portions. This brace provides unparalleled stability and mobility for patients with neuromuscular conditions, post-stroke rehabilitation, and quadriceps or dorsiflexor weakness. Built using advanced 3D-printing technology, the Zeus offers a lightweight, form-fitting, and customized solution that enhances functional mobility while reducing fatigue.
The Zeus offers a comprehensive solution for individuals requiring both knee and ankle support. Engineered with a patented high mechanical-advantage dial to easily adjust and release tension, the Zeus enhances joint stability, reduces muscle fatigue, and promotes efficient movement patterns. Unloading up to 60 lbs. worth of bodyweight, the Zeus is designed for all-day wear, offering a secure, non-slip fit while maintaining optimal support. Built in the USA with cutting-edge materials and manufacturing techniques, this brace is covered by most insurance plans, making advanced mobility solutions more accessible to patients who need them most. From the advanced polymers used in our 3D printed frames to padding, straps, and tensioning systems, every component is engineered for strength, reliability, and patient comfort.
