Hi

I have a healthy young adult male who has a C5 complete. I'm looking
for suggestions for an elbow joint that will cause enough flexion
assist but still allow the patient's active triceps to extend the
orthosis. I've considered the ultraflex joint (and have used them for
contractures in the past with great success) but wonder if there are
any other joints for consideration.

Any thoughts apprecieated.
