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.

AIRPUCK Modular Vacuum Chamber

The AIRPUCK™ system is a cost-effective vacuum reservoir that can maintain negative pressure within the prosthetic socket for extended periods of time (6-10 hours). The AIRPUCK system completely seals the distal aspect of the socket, allowing users to open the valve and remove air in the socket to achieve vacuum suspension. The vacuum barb is neatly concealed in the valve housing. Blister pull fabrication makes an air-tight socket a breeze. No hoses, barbs, or ports to contend with. The AIRPUCK is a self-sealing, modular, drop-in vacuum component. Patent pending.

Go AFO with Partial-Foot Prosthesis

The Go AFO from Hersco is a rear-entry ankle gauntlet designed for patients who have difficulty donning traditional braces. The gauntlet is a traditional thermoplastic ankle foot orthosis with a thin leather lining and outer layer that secures posteriorly using either a Velcro or lace closure.

Now Chopart, Lisfranc, or transmetatarsal amputees who need a partial-foot prosthesis (PFP) can combine the Go AFO with a filler. The Go AFO provides excellent support and control for the remainder of the foot, and the PFP portion can be fitted into regular extra-depth shoes.

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.

Is Your Lab Sad about the Irritation and Expense of Carbon?

Use Coyote Designs' new material, Coyote Composite. Made from basalt (volcanic rock), this material is inert, safe, and causes much less itch than carbon. This braiding is similar in weight to carbon, but is less rigid for a more flexible, comfortable socket layup. It also is tougher than carbon or fiberglass to withstand impact and resist delaminating, and it is less expensive. Available in 3-, 4-, 6-, 8-, and 10-inch braids, as well as reinforcement rope or sheet fabric. Now with an even lower price.
