Redesigned StepLock Handle

OTS Corporation has redesigned the StepLock handle to allow the use of a special bail kit. In the past, a stiff connection between the two joints risked one side locking while the other was not completely locked, causing the last ratchet tooth to be worn away. The new bail kit has rubber grommets inside the connection, allowing some play between the two sides. The kit attaches through two spaces in the redesigned handle, which allows for a better lever release kit connection. The new handle is less obtrusive and less likely to catch on clothing. It is now standard on all StepLocks ordered.

Ossur's PROPRIO FOOT Provides Unmatched Stability and Safety

Ossur's PROPRIO FOOT® is an artificially intelligent, motor-powered prosthesis that helps replace the function that the body's central nervous system would normally play.

• Sense: Using advanced motion-sensing accelerometers, the PROPRIO FOOT can "sense" the surroundings of each step and accommodate for action.
• Think: As fast as it measures, the data is fed into the "brain" of the device through TerrainLogic™, identifying specific motions to enable a response to variations.
• Act: Foot motion is continuously analyzed. For each stride, gait pattern recognition algorithms in the foot are used to detect and identify when and where a user is walking.

The Dobbs Bar

A Revolution in Clubfoot Treatment
Matthew Dobbs, MD, designed this new dynamic clubfoot bar to allow active movement, preserve muscle strength in the foot and ankle, and be less restrictive to the child than traditional fixed-bars. Children using the Dobbs Bar can crawl and kick their legs independently. Children will sleep better because they can get comfortable in the Dobbs Bar, and heel blisters commonly associated with fixed-bars are no longer a problem. The Dobbs Bar is adjustable from 8 to 14 inches to accommodate growth; no need to buy replacement bars. The foot plates are universal and can be attached to shoes and AFOs. The results are better compliance, a more active child, and happier parents.

Introducing the Sure-Lok System

The Sure-Lok™ is the world's first infinitely adjustable cable lock and retainer system for body-powered prostheses. This revolutionary technology mounts on the patient's voluntary opening (VO) or voluntary closing (VC) prosthesis.

Shaped by Perfection

Dycor's ADL-LCD Lisfranc/Chopart Energy Returning Foot provides maximum flexibility and resiliency, strength of attachment, and anatomical support of hindfoot, with minimum weight (12.5 oz. with foot shell, 26cm med) and socket clearance (% in. including foot shell).

The forefoot is horizontally split into five segments to maintain the same degree of forefoot flexibility regardless of medial and lateral shift of the floor reaction. Integrated carbon fiber "tie-ins" around the heel portion of the keel are epoxied directly to the end of the socket, forming a stronger lap joint between the heel segment of the keel and the prosthetic socket.
