FreeWalk Stance Control Knee/Ankle System
The FreeWalk™ KAFO revolutionizes the way your patients walk.
Our innovative design creates a more natural gait cycle by locking during stance phase and unlocking during swing phase. The automatic lock is initiated by knee extension, and is only released to swing freely when a knee extension moment and dorsiflexion occur simultaneously in terminal stance. The result is a more secure, efficient gait that also reduces the incidence of typical gait compensations.

-
Stance control technology allows for a more efficient gait by locking when stance stability is required and unlocking for free swing.
-
Locking mechanism control cable is contained in the tubular stainless steel sidebar, which is both strong and low profile.
-
Knee joint automatically locks prior to initial contact whenever joint is fully extended.
-
Secure on slopes and stairs: Joint requires simultaneous extension moment and 10% dorsiflexion to release making it safe for ascents and descents.
-
Open frame design makes the FreeWalk easy to don and doff and keeps it cooler than most alternatives.
-
Your measurements and our custom fabrication assure your patient of an excellent fit.
-
The FreeWalk's tubular steel construction and unique knee mechanism require a special fabrication process. Otto Bock C-Fab has special tools and expertise needed to fabricate this orthosis. We look forward to meeting your central fabrication needs.
