A pneumatic knee joint is a type of artificial knee joint that uses compressed air to assist with movement and support. it use in above knee prosthesis . feature :- Dynamic Movement: Pneumatic systems allow for smooth and adaptive movements, mimicking natural knee motion. A typical pneumatic cylinder consists of a cylinder barrel, a piston, seals, and end caps. It may also include ports for air input and output. Compressed air is introduced into the cylinder through an inlet port. This air is typically generated by an air compressor. As the compressed air enters the cylinder, it pushes against the piston. This pressure causes the piston to move in one direction (extend or retract) depending on the configuration of the cylinder. When the piston reaches the end of its stroke, the air can be vented out through an exhaust port, allowing the piston to return to its original position. This can happen either automatically or through a control system. The motion can be controlled using valves that regulate the flow of air into and out of the cylinder, allowing for precise control of the piston’s movement. Lightweight Design: Pneumatic components can be lighter than traditional mechanical parts, improving comfort for the user. Shock Absorption: The system can absorb impact, reducing stress on other joints and enhancing overall mobility.

A prosthetic knee joint is an artificial knee replacement that is used to replace a damaged or diseased knee joint. It is designed to mimic the natural movement and function of a real knee joint, allowing individuals to walk and perform other activities with greater ease and comfort. Prosthetic knee joints come in various types, including total knee replacement (TKR) and partial knee replacement (PKR). In a TKR, the entire knee joint is replaced with an artificial implant, while in a PKR, only the damaged or diseased portion of the knee is replaced. The materials used in prosthetic knee joints are typically made of metal, plastic, or ceramic components, and are designed to be durable and long-lasting. The success of the surgery and the longevity of the implant depends on several factors, such as the patient's age, weight, and overall health, as well as the skill of the surgeon performing the procedure. Physical therapy and rehabilitation are often necessary after a prosthetic knee joint surgery to help the patient regain strength and mobility in the affected leg.

A Knee-Ankle-Foot Orthosis (KAFO) is a custom made brace that starts above the knee and extends all the way down the leg to the end of the toes. These braces will normally include a knee joint and possibly an ankle joint as well. A KAFO is prescribed by your physician when there is significant weakness and/or instability at the knee and ankle joints. The KAFO will allow patients to stand by locking the knee joint in the brace when the thigh muscles are too weak to support the knee. This brace can also reduce significant knee hyperextension (genu recurvatum) during the gait cycle. KAFOs can be extended to the hip to provide additional support to the hip joint if necessary.  The KAFO is commonly used in the treatment of: 1-Blount’s Disease 2-Genu Recurvatum 3-Post-Polio 4-Spinal Cord Injury 5-Arthrogryposis 6-Cerebral Palsy 7-Polio 8-Spina Bifida  At your initial assessment you will meet with your Orthotist to go through a complete assessment of your strength and range of motion and undergo an observational gait analysis. There are many different designs of KAFOs, each with different functions and levels of support. In collaboration with your Orthotist at OrthoProActive and your health team, we will determine which KAFO design will help to provide you with the best functional outcomes.

KAFO with Offset Knee Joint drop lock type  A knee-ankle-foot orthosis (KAFO) consists of a plastic AFO or an AFO with metal uprights, a mechanical knee joint, and a plastic thigh cuff or 2 metal thigh bands. KAFO’s can be used in quadriceps paralysis or weakness to maintain knee stability and control flexible genu valgum or varum.  KAFO’s are also used to limit the weight bearing of the thigh, leg, and foot with quadrilateral or ischial containment brim. A KAFO is more difficult to don and doff than an AFO, so it is not recommended for patients who have moderate-to-severe cognitive dysfunction.  The most common causes of muscle weakness include: -Poliomyelitis -Muscular Dystrophy -Multiple Sclerosis -Spinal cord injury

Active KAFO  The Active plus-Knee comes furnished with a pneumatic spring on the lateral side of the joint to assist with knee extension during the swing phase of gait.  A medial knee joint is also included to help control knee alignment and give Medio lateral stability.  The active plus -Knee is a free motion knee joint that is designed to provide extension assist, not prevent knee flexion. Available with your choice of a 75N, 125N (for standard applications), or 175N pneumatic spring.

Neurotronic KAFO  The Neurotronic knee joint system is a sophisticated electro mechanical knee control component designed specifically for people with knee extensor weakness, knee instability or loss of knee control and sets the benchmark for this class of limb control technology.  The Neurotronic is incorporated into a discreet lightweight carbon frame, locking automatically in stance phase and free moving in swing phase. In stance phase, the Neurotronic stabilises the knee in any position to enable the user to safely load the effected limb even when the knee joint is flexed or bent. During swing phase, the Neurotronic allows the knee to move freely to achieve a natural gait pattern without the compensations seen with conventional designs.  The electromechanical knee joint system is controlled either by a pressure sensor under the foot piece or by motion sensors integrated in the controller. The control mechanism incorporates an inclinometer and accelerometer motion sensors that detect the movement and position of the lower leg.  When standing with the orthosis or just before heel strike, the motion sensors lock the Neurotronic system knee joint. The motion detection is sensitive to speed and the joint will lock regardless of length and speed of steps and regardless of a hill gradient.

Rehabilitation aids are devices or equipment designed to assist individuals in their recovery process following an injury, surgery, or illness. These aids help improve mobility, strength, flexibility, and overall functionality. Here are some common types of rehabilitation aids: Exercise Equipment: Various exercise tools and machines can aid in rehabilitation. These include resistance bands, therapy balls, balance boards, and pedal exercisers. They help strengthen muscles, improve range of motion, and enhance balance and coordination. Walking Aids: As mentioned earlier, walking aids like canes, crutches, walkers, and knee walkers/scooters can assist individuals in regaining mobility during their rehabilitation journey. Orthotic Devices: Orthotic devices are supportive braces or splints used to immobilize or support specific body parts during the healing process. They can provide stability and protect joints, muscles, or ligaments. Examples include knee braces, ankle-foot orthoses (AFOs), wrist splints, and back braces. Range of Motion (ROM) Devices: ROM devices help individuals regain or maintain joint mobility. They can be passive or active. Passive devices, such as continuous passive motion (CPM) machines, move the joints through a controlled range of motion without the individual's effort. Active devices, like pulley systems or therapy bands, require the individual to actively move the joint. Assistive Devices for Activities of Daily Living (ADL): These aids help individuals perform everyday tasks independently during their rehabilitation. Examples include reachers/grabbers, dressing aids, adaptive utensils, shower chairs, and raised toilet seats. Electrical Stimulation Devices: Electrical stimulation devices use low-level electrical currents to stimulate nerves and muscles. They can be used to manage pain, prevent muscle atrophy, improve muscle strength, or promote tissue healing. Balance and Coordination Tools: Balance boards, stability discs, and wobble cushions are aids that help improve balance, coordination, and proprioception. It's important to note that the specific rehabilitation aids needed may vary depending on the individual's condition, the stage of rehabilitation, and the guidance of healthcare professionals. Consulting with a physiotherapist, occupational therapist, or healthcare provider is crucial to determine the most appropriate rehabilitation aids for an individual's specific needs and goals.
