Nexgear Tango ankle joint
In the case of paralysis of the leg muscles, this dynamic ankle joint for leg orthoses makes it possible to walk more smoothly – whether on level surfaces, on inclines or on stairs.
In the case of paralysis of the leg muscles, this dynamic ankle joint for leg orthoses makes it possible to walk more smoothly – whether on level surfaces, on inclines or on stairs.
Four modules (Stop-module, Spring-module, Reaction-module and Ultra-module) that can be added and removed enable individual adaptation to the patient’s needs throughout the entire rehabilitation process.
The Reaction-module, with its different spring strength options (strong and extra strong), and the Ultra-module enable energy return at different levels with maximum freedom of movement in the ankle. Both modules dynamically control and support plantar flexion and lifting, normalise knee loading in the stance phase and assist with toe-off/initiation of the swing phase.
Static adjustment and dynamic adjustment are performed separately.
The available range of motion (ROM) of 20° is retained for both dorsal extension and plantar flexion.
Dynamic adjustment is carried out by means of continuously variable pretension of the Reaction-springs.
The joint is suitable for both children and adults, with the appropriate option selected on the basis of body weight. Both unilateral and bilateral treatment are possible.

Walk more smoothly
The Reaction-module and the Ultra-module enable the patient to walk more smoothly and more physiologically. The powerful Ultra-module extends the Tango range for unilateral fittings. Different springs can be used to accommodate different needs. Cushioning and a spring-mounted stop ensure silent stops of the joint.
Modular design
The modular structure of the ankle joint opens up a number of different fitting options. The joint can be used throughout the entire rehabilitation process, even as the patient’s needs change.
Lightweight titanium construction Making use of the titanium Tango joint reduces the weight of the orthosis.
Fit Kit and test braces for user testing in situ
The Tango Fit Kit includes all four function modules in each size, all the springs and the required tools. During the fitting process modules and springs can be tested on the user with the test brace to find the proper setting and alignment.
