The Kinetec 9081 machine provides optimum range of motion by allowing and controlling flexion, extension, abduction and external rotation. Convenient range-of-motion controls adjust from 0° to 120° of hip flexion. The shock-absorbing feature transfers the weight of the leg off the injured hip joint, promoting patient compliance.
Clinical benefits:
- Combined abduction of the hip with flexion/extension maintains the congruity of the femoral head,
- Knee flexion may be blocked at 0°, 30°, 60°, 90° or 120°, decreasing pain by relaxing hamstring muscles during hip flexion,
- Lockable ROM controls for patient safety
Indications:
Procedures requiring early mobility and the patient's cooperation in the post-operative period to help prevent stiffness.
Indications include the following:
- Arthroplasties of the hip and knee,
- Femur and lower leg osteosynthesis,
- Synovectomies,
- Quadriceps release,
- Hip and knee prostheses,
- Osteotomies of the hip and knee,
- Fractures of the femoral upper extremity with open reduction and internal fixation,
- Meniscectomies,
- Acetabular and distal femoral fractures
