C-Brace Benefits

  1. 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.

  2. Small and Lightweight. The new C-Brace is small enough to be worn inconspicuously under clothing. Because it’s lightweight, the user expends less effort while walking.

  3. 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.

  4. App Control for Users & Professionals. Users can control their C-Brace with the Cockpit app; for example, switching from walking mode to cycling mode.

  5. Dynamic Movement Patterns. The new sensor technology makes the C-Brace even more intuitive to use, with additional dynamic and responsive movement patterns.

  6. 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.

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.”
