Helix3D Prosthetic Hip Joint

Product Overview

The Helix3D Prosthetic Hip Joint is engineered to provide controlled, three-dimensional hip motion within advanced lower-extremity prosthetic systems. Unlike single-axis hip joints, the Helix3D follows a spatial movement path that supports flexion, extension, and rotational motion throughout the gait cycle. This mechanical design allows smoother transitions between stance, swing, and seated positions.

The joint delivers predictable resistance during weight-bearing phases while supporting fluid leg progression during walking. Its compact construction contributes to improved seated comfort and efficient posture changes. Designed for compatibility with modern prosthetic knees and feet, the Helix3D integrates into complete prosthetic systems while maintaining consistent mechanical behavior across varied walking conditions.

Features and Benefits

• Three-dimensional hip motion: Enables flexion, extension, and rotational movement to better replicate natural hip mechanics and improve gait symmetry.
• Stance-phase stability: Provides controlled resistance when weight is applied, increasing confidence during standing and initial step loading.
• Smooth swing initiation: Supports consistent step timing and fluid leg advancement at different walking speeds.
• Reduced compensatory strain: Helps limit pelvic tilt and lower-back stress commonly associated with lumbar loading during stance.
• Compact joint design: Improves sitting comfort and allows more natural posture changes throughout the day.
• Adaptive walking response: Adjusts resistance based on walking speed and terrain changes.
• System integration flexibility: Compatible with microprocessor-controlled knees and modern prosthetic feet.
• Lower-back load reduction: Minimizes stress on the lumbar spine caused by rigid or non-physiological hip joints.

The Helix3D Prosthetic Hip Joint is well-suited for experienced users seeking refined control, stable stance control, and a more physiological walking pattern in daily life.
