Mauch® Gaitmaster Low Profile

Mauch's hydraulic knee control offers proven reliability, a smooth natural gait and a high level of flexibility for more active lifestyles.

The unique weight-bearing yielding feature of the stance control allows the user to descend stairs or ramps and to sit down in a more natural manner. It is fully adjustable to accommodate various sizes, weights and activity levels.

The Mauch Gaitmaster Low Profile has all the features and benefits of the Gaitmaster Standard except for three important features which make the Gaitmaster LP a great choice.

• All aluminum frame with a net weight of 1.02kg (2.25lbs)
• Weight limit of 147kg (325lbs)
• 30mm (1-1/4") shorter than the Gaitmaster Standard package

Mauch Gaitmaster Low Profile with SNS^® Hydraulic Unit
• Cadence response capability
• Automatically adapts to changes in cadence.
• The SNS provides 3 modes of operation including swing and stance control, manual locking knee, and swing phase only.
• A prolonged hyperextension moment disengages the stance control in a SNS. This enables the amputee to properly flex the knee during gait. Also, this feature allows an individual to "jack-knife" down steps and facilitates entry into a car.
• The stance control enables an individual to descend stairs and hills step over step as well as it allows the amputee to gradually lower himself/herself into a chair.
• The amount of stance control in the SNS is adjustable.
• The swing control settings for flexion and extension can be individually adjusted. 
• The adjustable stance control provides stumble recovery.
• The knee system is available in a low resistance unit which utilizes a lower viscosity oil. The lower viscosity oil decreases flexion and extension resistance by 15%.
• The low profile SNS hydraulic units fit knee frames from Ossur and other knee manufacturers.
