How to Get Started
If you’re a patient—or supporting someone who is—here’s how to begin the process of getting an AFO from Kinetic Research:

Our products are prescribed by your physician and fit by an orthotist/prosthetist. Your first step is to speak to your clinical team to see if an orthosis will work for you.
Work with a Partner
We work with clinicians across the U.S. to deliver custom and pre-fabricated AFO solutions. If you’re unsure where to start, contact us and we’ll help you connect with a provider in your area.

Frequently Asked Patient Questions
Do you see patients at Kinetic Research?
We do see patients through Bader Clinic. We highly recommend that you first try to find a clinic in your area. This will make follow-up appointments easier and more convenient for you. If you give us your zipcode, we can get you contact information for clinics in your area.
What does it cost and do you accept insurance?
Depending on what type of orthosis you need, the price can vary. We do not accept insurance.
How can I get a replacement pad kit for my brace?
We offer three different size options for our pad kits. They are designed to fit any of our Noodle or Nano AFOs. All other devices are custom lined with padding, and you will need to follow up with your practitioner to get them replaced.
