Unilateral Ankle Joint

The 17LA3N unilateral orthotic ankle joint is a multifunction system ankle joint with a dorsiflexion effect. Thanks to various combination possibilities, it can quickly be adapted to the user’s individual needs at any time. Its weight classification permits unilateral use for a patient weight of up to 100 kg/220 lbs and bilateral use for up to 160 kg/353 lbs. Despite its multifunctional features, it is small, lightweight and inconspicuous – truly versatile.

If you or your child have partial or complete paralysis of the leg musculature in particular, a modern, harmonised and integrated system is available – the unilateral joint system. It consists of an orthotic knee joint and an orthotic ankle joint. They can be separately installed in the orthosis as well, depending on the individual physical condition. The O&P professional installs the joints in an orthosis that is made to measure according to your individual requirements. 

The orthotic ankle joint has a foot lifting effect. Its versatile settings make it possible to individually adapt it to your needs or the needs of your child. The orthotic knee joint can be equipped with an additional switch which allows it to be set in an open position for a limited time so that you or your child can ride a therapy bike.

- Suitable for small children up to adults

- Orthotic ankle joint can also be installed in ankle-foot orthoses
