RGO Hip Joint System

Part # Description  

Product information

The connection between the knee joint bars and the pelvic module is especially important for fittings with reciprocating gait orthoses. Our RGO (reciprocating gait orthosis) hip joint system helps users achieve pelvic rotation that imitates physiological rotation during walking. Thanks to the development of a bi-axial joint construction, pelvic rotation of 15°is possible without having to change the walking direction. The result: less effort, more effective gait pattern.Special features of the Ottobock® RGO hip joint system:

  • Smooth and maintenance-free force transmission during walking through the push-pull cable system.
  • Sitting joint lock release with pre-release of the locking mechanism.
  • Safety button for re-locking in case of accidental pre-release of the sitting joint.
