SPL 2 Hinge system
The SPL OrthosesThe knee hinge for orthosis from Basko Healthcare derives its name from the moment the hinge locks during walking. As one of its kind it is able to both automatically unlock, to allow knee flexion, as well as to lock before heel contact takes place, which means during the swing phase and to unlock again during midstance etc.
In other words, a during the loading phase stable orthosis knee hinge that already locks before the user leans on it.
Another quality of the SPL hinge is that it can only unlock when there is no flexion moment or strain of bending put on the hinge.
Characteristic for the SPL is that it can also be used in knee orthosis and is therefore not dependent on a foot section or the axial pressure on the orthosis for detecting the moment to lock or unlock.
