Walk naturally and stand securely with the FreeWalk: The special orthosis system locks the knee joint in the stance phase and unlocks it for the swing phase.
Patients get unparalleled stability from this electronically controlled locking knee joint. A remote control is used to lock/unlock the joint, and feedback notifies them when the joint is locked.
The 17LK1 Unilateral Knee Joint was developed as a modular component – just like the Unilateral Joint System. Three different applications can be created with the individually adaptable joint.
Sensors fabricated into the footplate control when the knee joint unlocks to swing forward for smooth walking. The knee joint locks at angle for greater stability if the patient stumbles.
