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.

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.
