BIOM
The BiOM Ankle is a prosthetic ankle that is designed with the below knee amputee in mind. It replaces the function of the individual’s lost muscle and tendon anatomy and provides more energy than it stores. Biom technology emulates the missing calf muscles assisting in the amputee’s forward progression during each walking stride.
With each step, the BiOM Ankle delivers powered propulsion to lift and drive the patient forward, smoothly transitioning weight to the active limb.

Stance Control Orthotics
These types of long leg braces have evolved over the last 10 years to allow previous users of locked knee KAFO’s that have isolated quadriceps weakness to free up the knee during swing and simplify toe clearance. Check out the following video to learn more about one example of this technology, the Otto Bock Free Walk.
