Tectus^®
Clinical Study

Tectus® is a slim, lightweight microprocessor-controlled orthotic device. Delivering life-changing mobility to people with partial lower limb paralysis, Tectus® can enable you to:

• Walk without sticks or crutches
• Walk over different terrains with greater confidence
• Enjoy daily life with peace of mind
• Walk fluidly without the burden of a heavy device, the Tectus® module weighs just 660g

"Now with Tectus, I'm living!
I'm doing what I want, I can go anywhere, I just do what I want to do."
Alfie, Tectus^® wearer

Purpose of the Study:

Through the supply of a new Tectus^® KAFO, this study ensures a thorough evaluation of the Tectus^® MPKAFO (microprocessor knee ankle foot orthosis) and its effectiveness compared to your current KAFO device. We will assess important clinical outcomes such as balance, fall risk, mobility, functional performance, quality of life, metabolic cost, and gait analysis, based on findings from previous studies on similar devices.

Benefits of taking part:

• Improved mobility benefits that come from wearing a microprocessor controlled KAFO
• A fully funded Tectus^® device for the duration of that units' clinical suitability
• Help Blatchford to build a body of knowledge to support future provision of this device in the UK
• Help to quantify the benefits for both patients and clinicians considering Tectus^®
• Improve your own quality of life and give others the chance to enjoy Tectus^® too!
