Mobility and Freedom of Movement - The 17H100 Bi-axial RGO Hip Joint System

• Easy-to-use modular system
• Separate components allow the orthosis to grow with the child
• Torsion-proof aluminum-alloyed pelvic tube allows for modular connection of joints
• The bi-axial system allows for a pelvic rotation of 15° in the orthosis without changing the walking direction
• Push-pull cable system facilitates smooth and maintenance-free power transmission when walking
• Sitting joint lock releases with pre-release of the locking mechanism
• Safety button to re-lock joint in case sitting joint is accidentally pre-released 
• Choice between thermoplastic or laminate for the custom pelvic module
• Torso bar hip flexion can be adjusted up to 10°
• Prefabricated aluminum-alloy thigh bars with 0 mm, 5 mm or 10 mm offset available

The connection between the leg bars and the hip module is especially important for fitting with Reciprocating Gait Orthoses (RGOs). Our innovative new RGO Hip Joint System achieves a pelvic rotation that, to a large degree, matches physiological rotation when walking with the orthosis. Thanks to the development of our bi-axial joint construction, a pelvic rotation of 15° is possible without having to change walking direction. The results: less effort and a more effective gait cycle.
