Swing Phase Lock 2 (SPL2)

The SPL2 is a gravity, or pendulum, driven stance control knee joint, different than other ankle or cable driven systems. The position of the pendulum within the functional unit recognizes its position relative to the weight bearing line/axis of the patient, promoting free movement during swing phase and knee locking during stance phase. The SPL2 knee joint is best used for quadriceps weakness, though other pathologies may be orthotically managed with this joint. The SPL2 joint is used on the lateral side. Joint kits include the cable and satellite, though these can be replaced separately.
