The Pentagon® Orthosis is a
posterior fitting, single-jointed,
upright knee orthosis that provides
a patient-friendly alternative
to the traditional, bulky,
double-upright, hinged-knee
configuration. The Pentagon
Orthosis has no medial or lateral
joints or uprights and is the only system that allows the calf
and thigh segments to dynamically shorten and lengthen during
knee flexion and extension.
This system design also allows for a simplified fitting of the
knee orthosis. The unique Pentagon Orthosis design can
address up to five different mechanical knee functions-free
motion, drop lock, variable range of motion, ratchet lock, and
lock out.
