Brace rotation system 

The brace rotation system offers a unique function for the user. The angle between the hip and knee 
joint can, using the brace rotation system, be adjusted to 0°, 5°, 10° of free to rotate between 0-10°. 
This will rotate the user’s legs so that she/he is standing with her/his feet pointing outwards to the 
selected degree.  

The Brace rotation system will replace the upper brace, connection the hip joint and knee joint.  

The level of rotation can be adjusted by lifting the lid up, rotate it to the wanted degree of rotation 
and put back in place. The lid is secured with one screw.  

  There is needed at least 30mm distance between the hip joint and knee joint to make room 

 

for the brace rotation system 

  The brace rotation system is only available for NF-Walker 2 size S
