endolite blatchford linx prosthetic knee and foot. microprocessor prosthetic

Description

endolite blatchford linx prosthetic knee and foot. microprocessor prosthetic.

Up for sale is a lightly used Endolite Blatchford Linx Microprocessor Prosthetic Knee & Foot with charger. Super good condition. The knee and foot has no issues. Flawless functions. The foot size 28 with left shell. Category 8, 256-275 pounds user/springs but the spring and foot shell can be changed to suit your needs (talk to your prosthesis for options and pricing). Everything functions as it should! Total height approx 20”. Leg may need programming for your unique gait, so please talk to your prosthetist before buying, if applicable.

The leg can be used as a left or right but it only comes with the left foot shell. The microprocessor foot and knee are universal.

This is a microprocessor knee/foot and it would be wise to get help from your local prosthetist. He or she can assist you in programming the knee, adjusting the height and attaching it your socket as well as purchase options should you need a different size/weight foot spring. You should ask your prosthetist if they are willing to do this for you prior to purchase, if applicable. The leg is programmed currently but not specifically for you.

Linx is the first fully integrated, microprocessor controlled, lower limb system available in the world. Every element is part of a design whole that balances energy, posture and sensation for a truly captivating walking experience. The revolution is the master controller that coordinates the Linx response so the different parts work together in harmony

Integrated sensors continually analyze data, adjusting the hydraulic technology to seamlessly align the leg for the next step. This integrated and coordinated limb response ensures fast adjustment times and easy navigation of slopes and steps, allowing the user to think about where they are going, rather than how they are going to get there.

Down Ramps

Linx delivers controlled ramp descent with different response levels for steep and shallow slopes. The knee and foot work together to optimize the rate of plantar-flexion and dorsi-flexion. The knee resistance is simultaneously adapted by introducing an intermediate resistance. On intermediate ramps, Linx offers a braking effect at both the knee and ankle that secures the whole body for safe descent.

Up Ramps

The knee and foot work in unison to dorsi-flex quickly. The toe remains dorsi- flexed for safe and efficient swing-through, while the heel stiffens to support the knee flexion. If stationary on a ramp, the toe will remain in dorsi-flexion to help reduce the extension moment on the knee, allowing a more upright posture for a more comfortable standing position.

Speed and Terrain

Additional synergies gained from simultaneous knee and foot programming, combined with the optimized control unit and hydraulic/pneumatic system means smoother transitions between speeds, and effortless progression over varied terrain.

• Varying levels of stance resistance to optimize safety at all times:

– Standing support

Maximum resistance stabilizes the knee and foot, on both flat and slopes, encouraging better posture and balanced loading to relieve pressure on the sound limb and lower back.

– Supported sitting

Progressive hydraulic resistance ensures greater support and control allowing the user to sit down with safety.
