CPI Takes Control

CPI's new Adjustable Stride Control allows prosthetists to customize an individuals gait without the need to change soft components. The Stride Control adjuster, located on the back of the foreheel, determines preload on the bumpers. Convenient adjustment, from the top or the side, increases or decreases resistance.

Key benefits of the Adjustable Stride Control:

• Adjustment of plantar and dorsiflexion resistance 
• Fine-tunes the feel of the foot without having to change bumpers
• Available on TruPer®, Venture^TM and Tribute^TM feet

Align perfectly the first time, and every time, with College Park Industries' Adjustable Stride Control.

Socket Design Made Easy

The TT Design^TM and TF Design^TM replace the Electronic Test Socket Software, and offer a number of time and money saving advantages over the previous version. With TT Design software, it has never been easier to control the accuracy of a well-fitting socket. Simply take an anterior and posterior photo of the residual limb, and the software will project a threedimensional image of the limb. Practitioners can then modify the image to create the perfect socket fit for their clients. The TT Design software also offers a new socket shape, the Total Surface Weight Bearing Socket.

A New Symes Solution From Otto Bock

Otto Bock HealthCare introduces the new 1C20 ProSymes prosthetic foot for Symes amputees. The key innovation in the 1C20 ProSymes is a spherical sliding block that is built in the foot plate that allows you to adjust the alignment of the foot during trial fitting and even after the prosthesis has been completed. The 1C20 ProSymes foot can be adjusted in the anterior/posterior and medial/lateral directions plus or minus six degrees, with rotation of plus or minus 30 degrees. The 1C20 ProSymes also addresses the clearance issues that Symes amputees face, and can accommodate amputees with clearances of only 43mm.

Adaptive Knee Available at PEL

The Adaptive^TM Knee is the first knee to combine the power and stability of hydraulics with the natural comfort of pneumatics. This enables the knee to respond to the amputees body movements as well as to the terrain. A single-axis knee with a stance-flexion, the Adaptive has microprocessor-controlled stance and swing phases. It analyzes data 62.5 times per second to adjust control based on actual gait analysis. The Adaptive Knee can be programmed for stumble recovery, stairs, slopes, ramps and variable walking speeds. It allows the amputee to wear any existing foot and/or socket designs. A standard and a shock & torsion pylon are included with every knee.

SPS Now Carries GenuPro

SPS is pleased to announce distribution of the GenuPro Control A knee orthosis.

The GenuPro provides enhanced protection for all knee ligament deficiencies: ACL/PCL and MCL/LCL. Constructed of a stable, aircraft grade aluminum frame, GenuPro adapts quickly and precisely to fit an individuals leg. Integrated rubber flanges, in combination with a raised crosssectional area provide excellent mechanical function while facilitating individual adjustments.

The patent-pending two-stage tracking hinge allows fixed positioning in different extension and flexion angles to achieve phased immobilization of the knee joint - WITHOUT the use of ANY tools. Increased leverage and improved joint stabilization is particularly enhanced by the increased length of GenuPro. Clearly defined increments on Segmented Gears (non-weight bearing) allow Range of Motion (R.O.M.) flexion and extension adjustment.
