The 17B66 Ankle Joint distinguishes itself through its many combination options. It can be optimally adapted to the individual requirements of your patient.
There are many different types of ankle joints available to supply your patients. Each version is made for special functions and therefore has a correspondingly narrow application spectrum. The 17B66 solves this problem. By combining springs, stops, and spring stops in the dorsal or plantar joint channel, nine functional versions are possible. In addition, the 17B66 makes an angle position of 50° possible, which exceeds the physiological range of motion. Within this angle, the orthosis joint can be continuously regulated.
Due to the combination options, the Ankle Joint 17B66 can ideally be adapted to the various requirements of your patient at any time. The 17B66 can be individually adapted with little trouble, even when the requirements of your patient change or when fine-tuning is required.
On the one hand, the joint is suitable for limiting movement, for example in cases of ICP or spina bifida. On the other hand, it can be used to support dorsal extension in cases of lower leg muscle weakness, to prevent hyperextension of the knee joint, or for an energy return during toe-off. It is also possible to use the 17B66 for dorsal and plantar support or as a dorsiflex assist with adjustable dorsal stop in case of peroneal palsy with or without a knee joint lock. Four foot bars are available for the construction of various orthosis types.
