Knee-Ankle-Foot orthotics

The E-MAG Active was developed for users who, due to paresis or a complete failure of the knee extensor muscles, are unable to stabilise their knee joint unassisted.
An intelligent sensor system measures the leg position while walking and controls the orthosis joint accordingly. Therefore the knee joint is unlocked automatically while walking: the leg can swing freely. The PreLock function securely locks your knee joint for the stance phase even if you have not fully extended your leg yet. You can stand safely and walk more naturally with the E-MAG Active.
Even users who have no ankle functionality whatsoever are able to use the E-MAG Active.

The 17KF210 is a free motion orthotic knee joint with a posterior offset for bilateral use. The posterior offset corresponds to the bar width. The knee joint is remarkably easy to handle for processing and maintenance. It can be processed using lamination and prepreg techniques as well as the thermoplastic technique or as a bar-clamp device. Sustainable, reusable steel dummies are available.

The Bioness L100 Go system was developed for people with drop foot, which can occur due to diseases of the central nervous system such as a stroke, multiple sclerosis or infantile cerebral palsy. It works on the basis of functional electrical stimulation (FES). With FES, electrical impulses activate the nerves which the central nervous system can no longer control – in this case, the nerves and thus the muscles that are responsible for lifting the foot. This improves your gait pattern, making it smoother and safer. The orthosis can also contribute to muscle rehabilitation and promote mobility in the joint as well as circulation.

The Bioness L300 Go system lifts your foot if you have drop foot, which can occur as a result of diseases of the central nervous system such as multiple sclerosis and infantile cerebral palsy or after a stroke. This improves your gait pattern, making it smoother and safer. The L300 Go stimulates the nerves that the central nervous system can no longer control. This is done using functional electrical stimulation with small electrical pulses. One electrode controls two stimulation channels. They are simply placed on your lower leg with a cuff and ensure that dorsiflexion is well balanced. If the knee is also unstable, the L300 Go can also trigger knee flexion and extension with an additional surface stimulator. Ottobock is the exclusive distributor for Bioness.

The 17KL100 is an orthotic knee joint with integrated lock for bilateral use. There are numerous options for unlocking the joint. The short lock lever can be replaced with a longer one. Optionally, a pull-release cable may be attached to the lock levers. The 17MA1 Nexgear function switch, which allows the joint to be unlocked for long periods for riding an indoor bicycle, is also available as an accessory. The lock lever play can be easily adjusted as needed using an eccentric screw on the inside of the joint.  The knee joint is remarkably easy to handle for processing and maintenance. It can be processed using lamination and prepreg techniques as well as the thermoplastic technique or as a bar-clamp device. Sustainable, reusable steel dummies are available.

The 17LK3 unilateral knee joint is a system orthotic knee joint with wedge lock. It is particularly attractive thanks to its lightweight design. Its weight classification permits unilateral use for a body weight up to 110 kg and bilateral use for up to 160 kg. The system is suitable for prepreg and lamination resin techniques. The scope of delivery includes a temporary switch for releasing the joint, e.g. for training on a therapy bike.

The FreeWalk features a mechanism that locks the knee joint when in stance phase. The joint is unlocked in the swing phase while walking. Therefore, you can bend your knee and swing your leg freely.
In cases of complete or incomplete leg paralysis – and if you are able to swing the leg forward using the hip or abdominal musculature – this allows you to walk with a virtually natural gait in addition to improving safety and stability. The FreeWalk features a very lightweight and slim design. At the same time, the robust steel structure is extremely reliable.

The 17B23 system knee joint comprises a set of locking knee joints made of stainless steel, used in a modular structure for custom orthoses. The locking function is centralised with a lever that points up. With the 17B23, the medial joint (inner joint) is contoured inward on both sides, while the lateral joint (outer joint) is straight (not contoured).

The 17KF110 is a free motion orthotic knee joint for bilateral use. It is remarkably easy to handle for processing and maintenance. The knee joint can be processed using lamination and prepreg techniques as well as the thermoplastic technique or as a bar-clamp device. Sustainable, reusable steel dummies are available.
