Simply Better – 3R60 EBS & EBSpro

Relief for the back and residual limb - because EBS technology in the 3R60 facilitates controlled knee flexion. Patented, deployed around the world and now also in the “Light” version - EBSpro.

3R60 EBS Knee Joint from Otto Bock.

EBS stands for Ergonomically Balanced Stride. We improved this patented, unique construction – which has proven itself thousands of times – with this new generation of the 3R60.
The 3R60’s EBS securely provides up to 15° knee flexion at heel strike. This helps avoid hip hiking and other compensatory movements during the gait cycle. The knee is easily adjusted to suit the user’s individual needs.

Optimized Swing Phase Control

An innovative hydraulic system controls the behavior of the knee joint during swing phase. The dampening values of the hydraulic system are based on gait analysis investigations. For the user, this mainly means that he or she can easily initiate swing phase and use a wide range of walking speeds. Flexion and extension dampening can be individually adapted to fit the user.
The new generation of the 3R60 is smaller and at just 845 grams, also lighter than its predecessor. Four proximal connections are available for the knee so that you can easily fit different amputation levels.

The design of the 3R60 received the reddot award – an international seal of quality for design – in 2005.

**Knee height = center of rotation to upper edge of pyramid/connection point.

EBSpro: Smaller, lighter and with progressive resistance.
3R60 EBS & EBSpro – Rocker to visually verify the degree to which the EBS function is utilised.
EBSpro- Adjustment pyramid can be repositioned in the a/p direction.
EBSpro – Miniature hydraulics to control the swing phase (1) and stance phase flexion (2).
3R60 EBS & EBSpro – Four connection options to support fittings for knee disarticulation, transfemoral amputation, hip disarticulation and hemipelvectomy patients.
