Full Stride Information

The FullStride from Becker Orthopedic is a ankle activated stance control orthotic knee joint that utilises a low-profile cabling system to automatically unlock at the end of stance phase. At the end of swing phase, when the orthotic knee joint reaches full extension, the locking mechanisim re-engages to provide knee stability.  

 Becker FullStride

The great advantage of the Becker FullStride is that it can be easily converted into an automatic spring lever lock knee joint if the needs of the patient change over time. When necessary , the stance control capability can be converted into a traditional spring (bail) lock mechanism by simply unscrewing the modular knee joints from the uprights and swapping the medial and lateral joints.
