The LiNX utilizes an integrated system of microprocessors, sensors and actuators for simultaneous control of the foot and knee, offering the user a new experience in walking. Bidirectional communication coordinates the response to variations in terrain and speed, adjusting for the situational needs of the user.
Key features include:
- Stop and support/lock mode
- Controlled ramp descent with braking effect at the knee and ankle joint
- Assist mode during ramp ascent
- Dynamic stair descent
- Supportive resistance to flexion
- Cycle mode
- Fixed angle flexion lock mode
LiNX model Doug Morgan spent countless hours and walked miles demonstrating the system to meeting attendees. A mobile gait lab/treadmill allowed Doug to demonstrate the LiNX system’s response to incline and decline on a ramp as well as speed changes. Changes to system settings were also displayed in real time on the programming screen for additional insight on how the system performs.
