I'm trying to locate a knee joint that I remember seeing at one of
the meetings. It's a basic hinge for incorporation into a custom
knee orthosis. It has tapered arms with notches along their length
and the joint head is covered on both sides with black plastic. The
profile of the joint is quite thin. It reminded me of the joints I
used to see on the BK braces from FlexTech if you are familiar with
that product.
I just want a thin joint that I can incorporate into a BK brace here
in the office. I need reasonable durability and bulk as this is to
be used on a juvenile.
Thank you for any help you can provide.
I will summarize and post the responses I get unless the author
indicates they do not wish to have their reply included in my summary.
