Spring loaded technology’s hydraulic knee brace turns disabled legs ‘bionic’ by treena hein october 22, 2015 . fluid power materials power transmission medical. halifax based startup hopes to change human mobility with unpowered, mechanical levitation knee brace. The unique, all new kx07 features a robust, waterproof, polycentric, 4 bar knee in combination with hydraulic swing and stance for a smooth, predictable operation and outstanding geometric stability in all terrain for high impact and active users. the resilient and waterproof design makes kx07 ideal for the active user who requires a reliable.
The atk hydrapro is a waterproof and highly functional 4 bar prosthetic knee joint, designed to meet the physical demands of active amputees. legworks’ patented autolock technology stance phase controller instills confidence on all terrains, while the hydraulic variable cadence controller (patent pending) allows for multiple walking speeds. For active amputees, hydraulic systems provide the closest thing to normal knee function. hydraulic systems use a liquid medium (usually silicone oil) instead of air to respond to a wide range of walking speeds. although hydraulic knees provide a smoother gait, they are heavier, require more maintenance, and a higher initial cost. Allux 2. allux ii is a microprocessor controlled, polycentric hydraulic knee. the polycentric (4 axis) design of the allux 2 knee delivers intrinsic geometrical stability in extension and lets the leg swing through more easily. due to its inherent structural stability, the knee is ideal for moderately active to highly active users. The design of the hydraulic linkage geometry allows powerful resistance even with a high degree of flexion. the extension resistance can be set to a low value, since hydraulic end position damping ensures a soft transition to the elastic stop. the stance phase is secured by posterior placement of the joint and active control by the user.
