C-Brace Benefits
01
New Freedom of Movement
The C-Brace allows users to experience a whole new world of movement. Users can walk slowly or quickly, navigate slopes or uneven terrain, avoid trip hazards, descend stairs step-over-step, or flex the leg while it’s under load.
02
03
Enhanced Safety while Walking
The C-Brace responds in real time. This makes users feel safe even when they face potential trip hazards – because they can take steps or sit down with the knee flexed, and can also walk on uneven terrain or slopes.
04
App Control for Users & Professionals
Users can control their C-Brace with the Cockpit app; for example, switching from walking mode to cycling mode.
05
06
Simplified Fabrication Process
The C-Brace is fully customized to each individual patient. Patients can request a trial to see if they are a candidate prior to receiving a C-Brace.
Getting back to you
C-Brace users can enjoy activities with their families and friends, while experiencing life in a completely new way.
Live the life you deserve with C-Brace
“Putting on the C-Brace for the first time was a feeling I could never relive again. Right then, it was me again. I used to serve my country, and now I serve my family.”
“It wasn’t until I was in the middle of a C-Brace trial that I began to realize this technology could actually restore my freedom of mobility back to a level at which I’d be happy with."
