The new static corrective joints 17BK1 are used in positioning orthoses and the joints match current sizes of the Otto Bock bar portfolio.
The individual angles required by your patients are continuously adjustable using a worm gear. An angle scale is located on the joints for orientation, control, and targeted adjustment of the correction. A unique quick application system which makes it possible to fully unlock the corrective joint was developed for easy application and removal of the orthosis. This simplifies hygiene, among other things. After applying the orthosis, the correction is fixed to the original corrective setting.
A further setting is unlocking of the joint, the extension of which can be adjusted as necessary in the stop angle position. This allows for things like physiotherapy or the installation of a dynamic unit (which will be available shortly).
The static corrective system joints are suitable for patients with neurological or orthopaedic diseases in conjunction with contractures of the joints.
Neurological indications: Stroke, cerebral palsy, condition after paraplegia, multiple sclerosis, spina bifida, craniocerebral injuries, dystrophies.
Orthopaedic indications: After total knee joint endoprosthesis, burns, amputation, after ligament rupture, fractures.
