Natural movement thanks to 3D technology
The patented multi-axis joint structure
- Produces a three-dimensional hip movement to compensate for pelvic rotation and promotes a symmetrical and natural gait pattern. (Fig. 1)
- Permits shortening of the leg in the swing phase with the objective of reducing the risk of falling, thereby improving functional safety.
- Ensures optimal sitting characteristics and reduces pelvic obliquity to a minimum.
- Permits a large flexion angle to provide relief in everyday situations such as putting on shoes or getting into a car.
