ANATOMY MEETS ENGINEERING

Inspired by anatomy.
Brought to life
through engineering.

UbiliFlex™ began with an orthopedic question: how can a powered brace better respect the alignment of the individual arm?

UBILIFLEX™ · AVAILABLE NOW

The anatomy.
The engineering.
The individual brace.

Patient-specific interfaces connect with the powered brace structure. Custom-fabricated cuffs, connecting geometry, and individual alignment bring orthopedic insight into the finished system.

01 / THE ORTHOPEDIC INSIGHT

The anatomy
came first.

The concept behind UbiliFlex™
Dr. Ajay Seth

Not simply up and down.
Movement designed around the person.

Dr. Ajay Seth developed the concept of incorporating the elbow’s carrying angle into the brace design. His starting point was the patient’s anatomy, rather than a mechanism considered in isolation.

That insight shaped the design challenge: bring powered assistance and patient-specific alignment together, with the aim of making supported arm movement feel more natural.

The question was not only how to move the arm. It was how to develop a brace that works with the individual arm.

02 / THE CARRYING-ANGLE CONCEPT

Alignment is part
of the design.
Not an afterthought.

In the UbiliFlex™ design, the carrying angle is an anatomical consideration that informs how the brace is configured around the patient. The goal is assistance that respects individual alignment.

The design question

How can the brace’s geometry and connections account for the patient’s arm alignment as part of a powered system?

The patient-centered goal

Support movement in a way that feels more natural to the individual, rather than focusing only on an up-and-down motion.

This describes the design rationale, not a claim that the brace exactly reproduces natural arm movement or that every patient will have the same experience.

03 / THE ENGINEERING COLLABORATION

Two disciplines.
One design purpose.

Orthopedic insight defined the challenge. Collaboration with engineers helped translate that insight into the physical brace.

  1. 01

    Start with the clinical concept

    Bring the carrying-angle idea and the patient’s alignment needs into the engineering discussion from the outset.

  2. 02

    Translate anatomy into geometry

    Develop the relationships between the cuffs, lower arm bar, connections, and powered mechanism around the patient-specific design.

  3. 03

    Bring the parts together

    Combine custom-fabricated interfaces and connecting parts with standard powered components as one assembled orthosis.

  4. 04

    Return to the individual

    Connect the design to individual fitting, alignment, setup, and guided training. The patient remains the reference point throughout.

THE PURPOSE BEHIND THE PROCESS

Engineering serves the anatomy.
The technology serves the person.

Helping people regain some independence is the purpose behind our work. UbiliFlex™ is available now, with powered assistance, custom-fabricated interfaces, and an individual fitting process.

Natural-feeling movement is a design aim, not a guaranteed outcome. Suitability and the patient’s experience require individual clinical evaluation.
