OTTO BOCK'S DELTA TWIST™ OFFERS CUSTOM SHOCK ABSORPTION
MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA September 20, 2002- Otto Bock Health Care, developer of state of the art prosthetic and orthotic components, is releasing the Delta Twist, the latest improvement in prosthetic shock and torque absorption.
The Delta Twist is the only product to offer independent control of internal and external rotational motion in combination with vertical shock absorption, offering an easily interchangeable system of elastomer inserts to customize the product to fit the wearer’s needs.
“We’re excited to offer this unique, new product to our customer,” says Peter Nohre, Otto Bock’s Prosthetic Market Manager. “The system offers the flexibility to provide softer internal rotation during early stance phase combined with a firmer, more gradual external rotation at towards toe-off. The result is a more natural gait with less compensatory movements and stress on the residual limb - the best of both worlds.”
Established in 1958, Minneapolis, Minnesota-based Otto Bock Health Care is the North and South American corporate headquarters of Otto Bock Healthcare, GmbH, based in Duderstadt, Germany. Otto Bock, a leading international prosthetic and orthotic manufacturer, has more than 3,000 employees worldwide and produces over 20,000 types of prosthetic and orthotic components, rehabilitation products and technical plastics, and also provides information technology services.
