Blatchford’s Tectus® orthosis features a small, lightweight, modular design and enables people with partial lower limb paralysis to walk more naturally, comfortably, safely, faster, and with increased confidence and less pain. Using Blatchford’s proprietary Performance Response TechnologyTM and microprocessor-controlled technology, the orthosis mimics the natural function of the knee joint. Tectus attaches to a custom-made knee ankle foot orthosis and features a complex system of spring, hydraulic, and sensor technology, allowing wearers to replicate a more natural gait cycle. Tectus’s spring assist feature uses an adjustable control so the leg fully extends in a timely manner during swing phase. The modular design allows for comfortable and flexible positioning of the device and can fit any thigh circumference. A training mode helps practitioners set up and configure the brace, and users can switch between mobility modes via a digital display or using a handheld remote control.

I have an Ottobock C Brace, how is your brace better. Also, is it as expensive as the C Brace? Thank you!
