Rehabilitation

Prostek is involved in the rehabilitation of clients post injury and post-surgery.

Prosthetic and Orthotic devices give support, stability and function to assist healing to enable people to return to mobility and activity. Our clinicians work with other health professionals in hospital and outpatient rehabilitation teams, to provide prosthetic and orthotic care that maximises client rehabilitation outcomes.

Orthotics: Orthotic supports and braces are often fitted post injury or surgery to provide support to body parts and joints to allow healing to occur, while allowing safe rehabilitation and return to function.

Prosthetics: When providing prosthetic treatment, we aim to give our amputee clients every opportunity to reach their rehabilitation goals. Whether the goal is stand, walk, return to work or even participate in sports, it is our role to assist patients to achieve successful outcomes to improve their lives.

Above Elbow Prosthesis with DynamicArm

dynamic armThe DynamicArm Elbow prosthesis gives you the power and speed to get things done! It incorporates a powerful electric motor in combination with the Vario Drive clutch to help you both flex and extend your elbow—while holding up to 11 lbs!

Paired with the SensorHand Speed—the fastest, most powerful prosthetic hand available –the system is able to handle it all. Its Automatic Forearm Balance system spares energy and makes it look and feel even more natural.

Now available in black!
Display your cutting-edge technology in cutting-edge style. In response to the growing trend of openly displaying prosthetic technology, the new black version of the DynamicArm features our SiOCX inner socket and an open carbon-fiber frame for a modern, sophisticated look.

   

Give yourself a hand

with the fastest, most powerful prosthetic hand available! The SensorHand Speed opens and closes almost three times faster than other hands—300 mm a second!

And its Autograsp feature with sensor technology can tell when an object you’re holding begins to slip.

Flex your muscles!

The motor makes the DynamicArm elbow twice as fast as other electric elbows—only .5 seconds from extension to full flexion.

The elbow is proportional in speed and can actively lift up to 11 lbs (5 kg). It has a static holding capacity of 50 lbs (22 kg)!

Its Vario Drive clutch helps make it especially smooth when flexing and extending.

Natural and efficient

The elbow’s Automatic Forearm Balance takes advantage of the energy that is stored when the arm is extended and reuses it for flexion. This gives the elbow a smooth, natural swing when you’re walking.

Unlocks easily under load

The DynamicArm unlocks easily when under load, and can be positioned without having to send an unlock signal. This means that you can make fewer compensatory movements, and maintain a more natural posture.

Do the twist!

The wrist rotator is also controlled by your signals, so you can rotate your hand inwards or outwards without having to position it with your other hand.

Solid connection

Self-suspending socket (with or without flexible inner socket) is custom made and fits perfectly to your unique anatomy. It provides an intimate fit while maintaining a strong connection to the electrodes used to control the hand.

Hand in glove

The MyoSkin Natural prosthetic glove comes in 6 colors. Made out of multiple layers of PVC, the gloves keep out dust and dirt and matches the natural skin structure down to knuckles and veins.

Quick reflexes

The system reacts very quickly to your signals because it is built on the Axon-Bus technology, which integrates all the electromechanical components and transmits signals almost instantaneously to them.

Reliable power

The Lithium Ion battery delivers reliable, high performance. It powers the elbow joint, the wrist rotator, and the SensorHand Speed hand.

Kenevo Prosthetic Leg

Kenevo

A new option for increased confidence. Persons with lower mobility requirements usually receive a leg prosthesis that incorporates a mechanical knee joint. Now there’s a new option designed to provide you with a greater sense of security – the Kenevo prosthetic knee, with built-in microprocessors.

Microprocessor-controlled knees have been shown to reduce the risk of uncontrolled falls by up to 80% in moderately active persons, as well as improve the indicators of fall risk, such as fear of falling.

Stand and walk securely - With Kenevo, you can stand securely without having to worry about becoming unstable as you shift your weight. Kenevo is specially designed to enable you to take small steps safely – even while walking backward.

Change positions with ease - Do you sometimes need to pause a moment as you are sitting down or getting back up to a standing position? Kenevo enables you to ease down into a chair and back up again without feeling like you’re falling. You can also change positions without manually adjusting your leg, so you can roam hands-free, just like you used to do.

Move with confidence - There’s no need to avoid crowds for fear that you’ll be knocked off your feet by a little jostle. Kenevo allows you to recover your balance if you stumble or experience a slight bump. With Kenevo, you can also walk down stairs at your own pace, step over step.

Works well with walking aids - Kenevo is fine tuned to support the way people walk with walkers, crutches and canes, so it will support you every step of the way – no matter how you get there! If you sometimes use a wheelchair, Kenevo won’t get in your way. Kenevo’s wheelchair function enables you to keep adequate clearance between the prosthesis and the ground, so you can maneuver easily.

Adapts to your changing needs - Programmable options allow your prosthetist to adjust the level of support Kenevo provides so it is right for what you need right now. Kenevo can provide appropriate stability you as you challenge yourself to meet your recovery goals through rehab and as you may experience situations where you need more support.

Less worry for you and your family - As Kenevo helps you regain your independence, you can worry less about having to rely on family and other caregivers – and they will worry less about you. Kenevo can help you feel more confident in regaining your place in the social life of your family and friends, just like old times.
