DuraTwist Adapter

The DuraTwist component is intended for use in lower extremity prostheses for adult populations. The DuraTwist allows transverse plane motion that permits normal internal/external rotation while walking. This benefits the user by diminishing peak shear forces on the residual limb interface during walking and other activities of daily living.

Features and Benefits:

• Reduction of shear forces on the residual limb during rotary motions
• Large range of transverse plane motion (±20° rotation at 20 N·m torque, ±30° max)
• 1 – 2 mm vertical compression
• Lightweight
• Small size
• Waterproof (1 meter for 30 minutes)
• K4 Activities
