SPS Lets You Clamp It On!
The freedom of the new tube clamp on the DuraShock, manufactured by Fillauer, provides SPS customers with an excellent option to provide shock absorption and rotation in a low-profile unit with a titanium core.
The new tube clamp connection means that no cutting is required, eliminating the problem of cutting it too short. Patient evaluations are now quick and easy.
Three stiffness options are available: 220 lb. (p/n DS001SC); 180 lb. (p/n DS002SC); and 145 lb. (p/n DS003SC).

Easy...No Clearance Required
The new Low Pro Summit Lock from Coyote Design offers zero-clearance suspension for patients without the space for other suspension methods.
The lock is mounted proximally, similar to the original Summit Lock, so no room is required distally. There isnt even a need for a locking liner.
The Low Pro Summit Lock is easier to don than the original and easier to cover cosmetically. Its multiple-tooth design walks itself into place allowing for touch-free engagement and adjustment.

Becker Presents 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 does not 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 now have the added security and stability required.

The FullStrideTM is the stance control option you've been waiting for. Delivering maximum control of varus/valgus instability and knee hyperextension, the FullStride automatically locks and unlocks during the gait cycle, providing natural movement with superior stability and comprehensive knee joint control.
Easily converted into an automatic spring-lever lock knee joint, the FullStride is also interchangeable with other joints in the Becker Stride stance control family.
Easy to fabricate and easy to fit, you can pair the FullStride with any ankle joint on the market. Its the logical next step in orthotic stance control knee joints.
