Becker Introduces the SafetyStride
The SafetyStrideTM is a mechanical stance control orthotic knee joint that utilizes a low-profile cabling system to automatically unlock itself at the end of stance phase. The key feature of the SafetyStride is its ability to resist knee flexion at any angle. The SafetyStride doesnt require full 180-degree knee extension to resist knee flexion in stance phase. Designed to unlock at terminal stance, an internal lever re-engages during swing phase to ensure knee joint stability prior to heel contact. Individuals who intermittently fail to reach full extension will now have added security and stability.

A new modern design approach inspired Becker Oregon to combine the conveniences of a modular system with the rigidity and lightweight (typical KAFO weighs only 2.6 lb.) characteristics of composites to create a laminated system that is user friendly for the practitioner.
Components easily can be detached from the orthosis and adjusted for ease of fitting, adjustment, and replacement. The laminated sections of the orthosis are fabricated around the metal components and attached with screws, and the streamlined design adds cosmetic appeal.
