  Loewen Prosthetic Lower Body Services

Lower Extremity amputees are also unique and have their own special needs. It is our job to design and provide the type of device to suit your activity level and lifestyle. Following are a few examples...

PictureThe C-Leg ©
The C-Leg©, the world's first completely microprocessor controlled prosthetic knee joint which means it's no longer necessary to concentrate on the task of walking. With an electronically controlled hydraulic cylinder, this is a quantum step forward in lower limb prosthetic technology. It offers the closest possible approximation to natural gait. The C-LEG© meets the full range of stability and functional needs for today's amputee.

La Ankle
The LA Ankle enables transition from walking to leisure activity by simple operation of a lever. The LA Ankle is particularly suitable for swimming, allowing as much as 70 degrees movement in the plantigrade direction.  The LA Ankle is for leisure activity only, not for every day walking.  It is being used successfully all over the world. The LA Ankle is suitable for patients up to 100kg/200lbs.

Endolite Below Knee System
Superior function that you can afford
Endolite's Trans-Tibial solution combines a highly functional ankle and simple alignment device with affordable, strong, quality engineering.

Endolite Below Knee System

The design incorporates all the advantageous features highlighted in our customer surveys. The structure combines with established Endolite foot and ankle designs to give you all the benefits of our "Multiflex" concept. A new long stump design with the same easy alignment is also available in 30 or 35mm options.

Otto Bock 3R66 Pediatric Polycentric Knee JointOtto Bock 3R66 Pediatric Polycentric Knee Joint
In many congenital pediatric fittings, conservation of space is critical. Matching knee centres in unilateral cases is also difficult. Otto Bock is pleased to introduce a new pediatric knee joint that allows superior function with the benefits of a polycentric configuration. The 3R66 has an incredible range of motion of 165 degrees, adjustable extension resistance and stance stability as well as an integral rotator that allows the child to crouch on the floor (the foot moves 90 degrees both ways from centre). Children of all levels weighing up to 35kg will benefit from this new design. It is recommended that this new knee joint be used in combination with the 1K10 Children's Dynamic Foot and the 4R110 Rotating Socket Adaptor

Total Knee 
Geometeric Locking SystemTotal Knee Geometric Locking System
The Total Knee's natural fluid motion simulates normal knee movement - for the ultimate swing.
The Total Knee offers multiple swing-phase adjustments. The three-phase fully encapsulated hydraulic system is unlike any other.
A unique two-stage flexion adjustment allows the amputee to freely flex the knee while eliminating excessive heel rise. The seven-axis design enhances the single-phase extension resistance feature to normalize gait.
An adjustable stance-flex feature acts as a shock absorber to simulate the natural flexing motion that occurs during stance in the normal gait.
The geometric design of the Total Knee* creates a locking moment, making it virtually impossible for the knee to collapse while in full extension during heel load.

PictureThe College Park Trustep Foot
The Trustep Foot from College Park is designed to mimic the anatomical foot and ankle, in both structure and function. Its adaptability and energy-storing capabilities make it the perfect solution for both everyday use and the demands of athletic activities. The TruStep foot has a unique split toe and superior ankle motion for exceptional stability, especially on irregular terrain. The design also reduces shock to the residual limb with a patented weight transfer system. Patients who use the Trustep have indicated there is a shorter rehabilitation period than with other prosthetic feet.

Flex-Foot By Oussur
Picture





By freeing them from heavy, unresponsive prosthetic devices, Flex-Foot allows amputees of all ages to live their lives with confidence they can take on anything. From young men who scale mountain peaks, to 80 year olds who want to step up 6 inch curbs without hesitation. Flex-Foot was invented in the early 80's by Van Phillips, a prosthetist and amputee frustrated with the kind of products then available. So Van took a radical approach, for the first time putting performance on a par with appearance. Wanting to have people forget they were wearing a prosthesis, he employed new materials, principally carbon filter composite, used in high performance fighter jets. Impervious to heat, cold, water, corrosion and stress, it stores and returns the highest percentage of energy possible, 95%.

The design approach was different, too. Flex-Foot products emphasize proportional response, and active heel, natural ankle motion, and energy return to power wearers through every step. But perhaps the biggest difference is the one we make people's lives. We help them live without limitations, whatever their activity level. Whether wearers stroll through the shops, or run in a marathon, Flex-Foot is liberating for the body. And, for the mind.
