The UTX Stable FS, although similar to the Stable 80 and 120, has a medially placed high strength, low weight cord. Together, this helps the orthosis to control a valgus unstable knee.

The UTX Stable FS is locked in the standing and walking position, which is comparable to the conventional bracing systems.   The active spring controlled planta flexion ankle joint causes a more smooth and natural ankle movement during walking.

The UTX Stable FS is suitable for patients with paresis or paralysis, which is typical of patients who have a neurological condition such as MS, PPS and CVA. Also for patients suffering from Femoral nerve damage, RTA, Spinal Injuries, Head Injuries and of course Polio.

This orthosis is designed within the three C’s philosophy: comfort, control, cosmetic. This single sided light-weight caliper is also designed with the Velcro straps at the back of the leg enabling complete comfort not only in the walking but especially in the sitting position.
