C-Brace – custom configuration with smart control
The new C-Brace allows users to experience a whole new world of movement. At last they can walk slowly or quickly, negotiate slopes or rough terrain, avoid trip hazards, descend stairs step-over-step or flex the leg while it’s under load.
The new C-Brace is small enough to be worn inconspicuously under clothing. Because it’s lightweight, the user expends less effort while walking.
The C-Brace responds in real time. This makes users feel safe even when they face potential trip hazards – because they can take steps or sit down with the knee flexed, and can also walk on uneven terrain or slopes.
Users can control their C-Brace® with the convenient Cockpit app, for example when switching to cycling mode. The orthotist uses the Setup app to individually adjust the C-Brace® in simple steps.
The new sensor technology makes the C-Brace® even more intuitive to use; movement patterns are even more dynamic and responsive.
The new C-Brace® can be constructed on site by a certified orthotist. Both the user and the orthotist benefit from the simplified fabrication process.

Intelligent sensors for continuous movement control
Walking recalculated
The C-Brace includes thigh, lower leg and foot components, all of which are custom fabricated. An ankle joint (unilateral or bilateral treatment) or a custom spring element connects the foot and lower leg components. The sensor technology continuously measures knee flexion and angular acceleration of the knee. This allows the C-Brace to detect which phase of the gait cycle the user is currently in. It can then regulate the hydraulic resistances and control the flexion and extension of the knee joint.
