Introducing the Stride⁴ Stance Control Knee Joint

The Stride⁴™ is the latest addition to the Stride family of stance-control orthotic knee joints from Becker. The Stride⁴ knee joint is comprised of a four-bar linkage mechanism, whereby the upper and lower aspects of the joint do not purely rotate about one fixed center of rotation. Instead, the joint motion involves some translation, in addition to rotation, to more closely mimic anatomical knee motion.

Features include:

• Three operation modes: stance control, free motion, and locked with stance phase knee flexion.
• Integrated extension assist.
• Free motion option.

• Four-bar linkage mechanism to afford stability and mimic anatomical knee motion.
• Integrated extension assist.

The inherent rigidity of the Stride⁴ Shadow ensures that optimal joint alignment and function is maintained throughout the gait cycle.

PEL Offers Edison Intelligent Vacuum Suspension System

Orthocare Innovations' Edison™ provides a truly quiet experience for patients. Its large-bore piston eliminates vibration noises associated with other electronic vacuums. The protective, insulated casing that houses the in-line pump further reduces sounds.

Edison automatically adjusts vacuum levels to meet a range of activities. It increases vacuum pressure when activity demands, and assures optimal comfort when higher levels of vacuum are not required. Edison allows the prosthetist to customize settings or to select from one of three standard activity profiles so socket pressure remains within the desired ranges for each patient's individual requirements.

Endolite Introduces the avalon

The avalon foot provides 12° of controlled ankle motion, allowing the user to safely negotiate stairs, ramps, and environmental obstacles with increased confidence and security.

Benefits include:

• Dorsiflexes from midstance to toe off for a smooth rollover.
• Remains dorsiflexed through swing phase for improved toe clearance, to minimize the risk of falls.
• Provides a more natural gait; reduces the need to compensate by hip hiking, circumduction, or lifting the knee to clear the toe during swing phase.
• Biomimetic ankle motion encourages equal loading during ambulation, which leads to less stress and thereby preserves the sound side.
