This dynamic assist joint can be used in the fabrication of a KAFO to increase mobility, addressing gait deviation, muscle and joint weakness, and instability. USS knee joints are designed to address quadricep weakness or lever arm extensor dysfunction. These orthoses are considered definitive and are not designed for stretching. Specify left or right, comes as a pair for medial and lateral sides of the knee.
Adjustable extension assist (0-30º) allows for smoother gait with reduced energy expenditure. Features a ratchet sit-to-stand with quick release. Ideal for post CVA patients with weak quadriceps. Alignment fixture is required for first fabrication (sold separately).
