With the C-Brace® joint, you can optimize your gait and the performance of different hurdles in everyday life.
C-Brace® thus recognizes which phase of walking the user is in. It can regulate the hydraulic resistances and control the flexion and extension of the knee.
Freedom of movement
Walking slowly and quickly, walking on slopes or uneven terrain, avoiding tripping situations, walking down stairs in alternating steps, or bending the leg under load.
Extremely inconspicuous
The new C-Brace® is small so that it can be worn inconspicuously, even under clothing. It is lightweight so that the user requires less force when walking.
Security
C-Brace® reacts in real time, which provides safety, even in possible tripping situations: The user can step and sit with the knee bent, walk on uneven terrain and on slopes.
App control
Users can conveniently control their C-Brace® using the Cockpit App, e.g. when switching to cycling mode.
Before you can go it alone, there is a three-step plan:
The therapy exercises, which are performed without an orthosis, are mainly aimed at improving mobility and muscle strength.
The benefits of training:

The C-Brace® is a revolutionary new orthotic device that can help you regain your mobility and independence. The C-Brace® uses advanced sensor technology to provide real-time feedback and support to help you move freely and confidently. Whether you walk, run or ride a bike, the C-Brace® can help you stay active and mobile. With the C-Brace®, you can experience many new ways to move! For example, when you swing your leg forward, the cushioning decreases, and when you stand, it increases so that you can assume a natural, slightly bent posture with your leg.
Let us advise you!
Yes it will. Talk to us.
Before you are fitted with a C brace® orthosis, your certified orthopaedic technician can use a diagnostic test orthosis to find out whether you are able to use the functions of the c brace ottobock for yourself.
This depends on your prerequisites and the therapy. We do not want to make a recommendation here based on incorrect assessments.
Training and adjunctive therapy are part of every care.
The orthosis is not waterproof. Showering is not possible. However, with the Aqualine orthosis system from Ottobock, there is a waterproof walking aid that is specially designed for the conditions in wet areas.
Although the orthosis is heavier than normal systems, studies have ruled out any adverse effects.
Walking is reinforced in real time, which provides safety. The orthosis can react quickly due to the sensors. Your movements become more natural and rounded.
In principle, yes. However, the pants should then fit tightly so that they do not wrinkle and cause pressure points. Most patients wear the orthosis directly on the skin.
Driving a vehicle with an orthosis depends on the respective national regulations... The orthosis-supplied leg must not interfere with the control of the motor vehicle (e.g. operation of accelerator and brake). However, there are other possibilities, such as retrofitting the car e.g. with hand controls.
In principle, you can wear all shoes. However, the orthopaedic technician will adjust the C-Brace® to a heel height that you should then maintain. Under certain circumstances, you will use one size more than before in order to have enough space for the foot part.
The risk of slipping with the foot part would be too great. In addition, the heel height would change as a result.
You should load the orthosis daily.
An advisory tone warns you beforehand. After that, the orthosis goes into a safety mode. Here it maintains a certain damping. The technician determines this together with you in advance.
You can have another mode set, for example for cycling. You can control the second mode via the app.
The c-brace orthosis system should be stored upright to prevent air from accumulating in the hydraulics.
