From unique new technologies to time-tested bracing, our research and development team is driven to help you become more active and involved in daily life.
Bringing the Best Support To You
For decades Otto Bock has applied our expertise in new technologies to the field of Orthotics. Materials like carbon fiber, which is used in sleek new jet aircrafts, is also used in our most popular ankle brace. Microprocessors, which automate how your orthotic knee joint responds to your motions, have literally transformed the ability of people to simply walk.
From spinal braces to AFOs (ankle-foot-orthoses), a wide range of products support you from head to toe.
You'll find our most advanced technology in our family of stance-control orthoses. Designed for those who depend on certain types of KAFOs (knee-ankle-foot-orthoses), these products keep your knee stable while walking. This new family of stance-control orthoses uses electronics and sensors to help you walk more naturally by locking and unlocking the knee joint as you walk.
To determine if this type of orthoses is appropriate for your situation, you need to work with a Certified Orthotist or other clinician. These braces may be custom fabricated to fit your needs so it is critical that you consult your healthcare provider to deliver the best outcome possible.
