Unilateral Joint / RGO System
With the Otto Bock Unilateral Joint System, you can experience all the benefits of a unilateral system combined with the confidence of selecting the appropriate weight classification.
The unique unilateral design means that you can stock less inventory while still accommodating a wide range of patients – plus, you avoid the worry of a medial joint, or have the option to accommodate a weight or functional need by using the joints in tandem. You’ll find that the system’s modular knee and ankle joints make it easy to update as your patient’s needs change. The components come in a range of sizes designed to target your patient’s needs –accommodating up to a 220 lb. weight limit and MTP to floor measurement of up to 55 cm.
17LK1 Unilateral Knee Joint
The 17LK1 Unilateral Knee joints are convenient to stock and easy to use.The design allows easy replacement of all moving parts to shorten your bench time. The joints also feature special plastic bearing bushings that minimize maintenance because they do not require lubrication.
Multiple Lock Options
The product offers many configuration choices to support optimal function: with a lever lock, a cable control, or a free-moving joint positioned posterior to the weight-bearing line. The posterior position eases flexion and unlocking through the biomechanical design.

17H100 RGO Hip Joint System
It is important when fitting a reciprocating gait orthosis, especially on a child, that the components of the orthosis are adjusted to the patient.
The 17H100 RGO Hip Joint System is designed to be easily adjusted on a growing patient.
The pelvic width of the orthosis can be adapted to the child’s growth simply by exchanging the tube connection.
The 17LH100 connectors make it possible to attach the new Unilateral Joint System to the RGO Hip Joint System and are available in 4 different sizes.
The size of the RGO follows the actual number 17LH100 for the connector. The size of the unilateral system comes after the hyphen.
As a result of similar construction of the RGO 17H100=1 and 17H100=0, these sizes (different cable lengths) are both identified as =1. See the chart below for examples.
Ordering example: 17LH100=2-3 Connector suitable for RGO 17H100=2 and 17LK1=3 Unilateral Knee Joint.
Warranty
