Designed for children weighing up to 100lb (45kg), Total Knee Junior offers fluid extension resistance for quick motion, yet flexion can be controlled to reduce excessive heel rise. An adjustable stance-flex feature acts as a shock absorber, simulating the flexing action that occurs in the normal knee while walking or running. Experience the freedom of effortless movement that requires less energy expenditure than many other prosthetic knees.
