UTX ORTHOSIS

PRODUCT INFORMATION

The UTX is available in different versions with a plurality of mutually interchangeable options.

As a result, a large portion of the people in need of a knee ankle foot orthosis can be helped.

Each UTX is adapted to the leg of the user.

Stabilizing the knee in the sagittal plane (flexion / extension):

The knee is locked against undesired flexion in the stance phase, but unlocks automatically at

the end of the stance phase, so that a free swing phase is possible.

The knee is locked during the entire gait. To sit down, the hinge can be unlocked manually.

The knee is free in flexion and can bend at will. An extension stop in the knee joint prevents

overstretching the knee.

For extra control in cases of severe overstretching by posterior placed interfaces on the

lower leg. (Figure 3). Can be combined with SWING, STABIL and FREE.

Stabilizing of the knee in the frontal plane:

This is the standard version of the UTX, using only a laterally placed orthosis. Used if no

additional stability is needed in the frontal plane. Because this is the standard version, the

term "unilat" is usually omitted.

The FS version delivers additional stability in case of a valgus or varus knee instability via an intelligent cable design. In case of a valgus, the

UTX is placed laterally and the cable is placed medially. In case of a varus, the UTX is placed medially and the cable laterally.

Stabilizing the ankle:

This is the standard version of the UTX, with a lateral ankle hinge, and an insole.

In this version there is both a medial and lateral ankle hinge. The double hinge can be attached to the shoe or to an insole.

This version consists of a polypropylene AFO attatched to a UTX frame, without an ankle hinge. The AFO provides stability around the ankle.

Because the UTX frame has no hinge, this combination is only suitable for a STABIL or FREE.

This version consists of a polypropylene AFO attatched to a UTX frame, with an ankle hinge. The AFO provides stability around the ankle.

The frame is constructed as a UTX SWING.
