Description:
The CDS® lock combination orthosis knee-ankle joint is based on the CDS® principle and is used to treat an extension deficit of the knee joint and a dorsiflexion deficit of the ankle joint. The orthosis stimulates the growth of the shortened tissue through dynamic continuous traction. The spring force also supports the patient when standing up. The CDS® joints in the knee are equipped with a self-locking catch to stabilize and secure the stance. Further locking stages are achieved when the knee is extended further.
When the lock is engaged, the orthosis can fully absorb the patient's load, enabling standing therapy. The patient can lock or unlock the orthosis with one hand and without tools directly via a remote control on the orthosis. In "freewheel" mode, the joint is permanently set to freewheel. This enables walking shorter transfer distances and use in walking therapy.
Features / components:
- Therapy in extension (knee brace module) and dorsiflexion (ankle brace module) with individually adjustable spring force
- Quick, tool-free separation and connection of the modules (knee/ankle joint) using the Coniungi connecting element
- Load-bearing, self-locking lock in the knee joint (from a flexion angle of 30) for standing therapy
- Remote control via Bowden cables and star grip for one-handed activation/deactivation without tools, tool-free activation/deactivation of the lock without the need for force
- permanent freewheel for walking shorter transfer distances and walking therapy
- tool-free activation and deactivation of the redression force without changing the set spring tension
- individually adjustable shell and strap system
- Adjustment of the position of the redression range via 360 -feature
- Limitation of the range of motion (ROM) through adjustable stops in extension (knee and ankle joint) and flexion (ankle joint)
- Adjustable foot rotation (max. 5 degrees external and 5 degrees internal rotation)
- height adjustment in the ankle joint
- also available as a children's product in the Junior version
