Kinetic Research

Kinetic Research is a private U.S. medical device company focused on carbon fiber orthotic and prosthetic products for lower extremity mobility support. Founded in 1994 and based in Tampa, Florida, the company designs and manufactures ankle-foot orthoses, knee-ankle-foot orthoses, and partial foot prosthetic solutions using proprietary carbon fiber designs. Its portfolio includes prefabricated and custom devices for conditions such as foot drop, valgus deformity, spasticity, chronic instability, and partial foot amputation. Kinetic Research markets clinically oriented products to orthotists, prosthetists, practitioners, and patients, with manufacturing performed in the United States. The business appears to be commercially focused rather than drug-development oriented, with no evidence of a therapeutic pipeline in biotech or pharma.
