Orthotic Innovation: E-Knee and Stance Control
Modern orthotic knee joints that support polio survivors, foot drop patients and arthritic knees.
Microprocessor orthotic knees such as E-Knee adapt to walking speed and provide stance control for patients with weak quadriceps or knee instability. Stance-control orthoses can prevent accidental knee flexion during weight bearing.
Combined with proper bracing and physiotherapy, these devices help patients walk farther with less fatigue and lower fall risk.
