SPS Offers Plié MPC Knee Course

SPS is offering a four-hour hands-on course on the Plié MPC Knee® from Freedom Innovations.

Advanced hydraulic engineering and optimization of microprocessor programming allows the Plié Knee to make nearly instantaneous adjustments related to knee position and velocity. Reacting ten times faster than the blink of an eye, Plié provides precise response to actual gait dynamics as they occur, rather than a step behind.

Ossur Launches the New Flex-Foot Assure

Ossur's Seal-In® X5 Liner, is now available for transtibial or transfemoral amputees at all SPS distribution centers.

• Seal relieves pressure peaks by conforming better to the residual limb.
• Increased surface contact with the socket wall ensures more effective rotation control, minimizing socket rotation.

KiddieGAIT--The Latest ToeOFF Product

KiddieGAIT^TM is an engineered composite frame with anterior shell, lateral strut, and an energy-reflecting footplate with open calcaneus, all designed to allow customization of the frame into a ground-reaction AFO or a partial-foot prosthesis. The energy-reflecting properties of this system reduce the amount of energy required to lift and move the foot forward.

The anterior shell design triggers enhanced "position in space" proprioceptive response and assists in management of proximal deficits by helping to overcome either knee hyperextension or crouch gait. Functional environments can be created that supplement gait function instead of immobilizing and inhibiting function.

New PSI Liner Available from PEL Supply

The Proximal Seal Interface (PSI) Liner from Alps offers more freedom of movement by allowing the sleeve to seal on the liner just proximal to the trim lines of a transtibial socket, as opposed to sealing proximal to the liner on the skin.

PSI Liner features:

• Unlimited restriction of stretch on the proximal area where there is no fabric.
• Posterior terry fabric wicks air.
