Torsion Adapters

Torsion adapters are a simply solution to help increase mobility while minimizing the strain on a residual limb, which can help improve limb health.

Freedom of Movement


At a Glance

  • Four models allow some rotation in the prosthesis to improve your patient’s mobility
  • Because these adapters help reduce compensatory movements while walking, these devices can patients achieve more natural gait patterns

 

Prosthetic components need rigidity in order to securely fit the patient and provide stability while walking and standing. However, that rigidity limits twisting and turning, which can be a natural part of everyday living.

Torsion adapters provide a solution by permitting some rotation, but still providing the support and stability your patient needs. The adapters are available in a variety of models for both people with below knee or above knee amputations.
