At the request of a polio survivor, a partially flexible thigh cuff made of leather and canvas for a carbon KAFO was devised to allow the wearer to feel more comfortable while sitting on a toilet seat. The original, acrylic resin, thigh cuff was partially excised to make an opening (15x10 cm), which was stuffed with rubber sponge, and was sealed with leather and canvas. The opening's surround was vertically and horizontally reinforced with carbon fibres. This modification provided relief to the polio survivor from the discomfort previously experienced while sitting on a toilet seat, and satisfied her needs in daily life.
应一名小儿麻痹症幸存者的要求，设计了一种用于碳膝踝足矫形器（KAFO）的部分柔性皮革和帆布大腿箍，以使佩戴者坐在马桶上时感觉更舒适。原来的丙烯酸树脂大腿箍被部分切除以形成一个开口（15×10厘米），开口内填充橡胶海绵，并用皮革和帆布密封。开口的周边用碳纤维进行了垂直和水平加固。这种改进缓解了小儿麻痹症幸存者坐在马桶上时先前经历的不适，并满足了她的日常生活需求。
