Improving knee extension during terminal stance with the Agilik smart orthosis🦿

In this video, Sam talks through one of our long-term cerebral palsy patients’ very first Agilik fitting, and the immediate difference it made to his gait pattern.

Using detailed gait lab analysis, we can see how the right orthotic intervention can create meaningful changes from day one. Over time, even small improvements in posture and knee extension can support greater independence and help reduce the risk of muscle contractures later in life.

This patient has been attending our clinic since he was a young boy, and it’s been incredible to support him as he trials the Agilik system.

This man is walking for the first time in 27 years🦿

We met Martin, from Port Talbot, Wales, at Neuro Con 2026 and watched him walk 18 metres in under a minute.

After decades living with antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), where even standing caused severe pain, he was able to move again for the first time, pain-free.

We’re increasingly seeing the powerful potential of smart-powered orthoses like the Agilik and what they can do for our patients.

For some people, it’s not just support, it’s life-changing.

If you’re at Neuro Convention at the NEC Birmingham this week, make sure you say hello to The London Orthotic Consultancy team!

We'll be there from 25 to 26 March, presenting alongside Thuasne UK on the powered knee orthosis: a new class of smart-powered orthosis that delivers real-time adaptive assistance through the gait cycle, enabling active gait rehabilitation in complex neurological gait dysfunction.

Plus, we're running live test trials during the event for suitable candidates. If you work with patients with neurological gait impairment and want to explore powered orthotic options, we'd love to hear from you.

Calling our patients!

We're running a competition to show that wearing a brace doesn't stop you from doing the things you love.

We're inviting our LOC Scoliosis Brace-wearing patients to send in short video clips of themselves in their everyday lives, doing hobbies, sports, dance, or anything else they enjoy while wearing their brace.

Our hope is that these videos can help other young people feel more confident about wearing their brace.

COMPETITION ✨

What can you do in your LOC brace?

We're running a competition to show that wearing a brace doesn't stop you doing the things you love, and we'd love you to get involved!

Every video you send is a separate entry into a prize draw to win a £50 Space NK voucher, and you can send as many clips as you like. The best videos will be used in a video we share across our channels.

All you have to do is send us a short video of you wearing your brace, doing something you enjoy, which could be sport, dance, hobbies, or anything you wouldn't expect to be able to do in a scoliosis brace!

Video tips:
• Under 1 minute
• Filmed on your phone
• Portrait, not landscape

When our orthotists receive a message like this, it makes our day 🧗

Chris, a patient from our Manchester clinic, was recently able to get back into indoor mountain climbing, thanks to his new AFOs from orthotist Saeed Forghany.

"Chris had the most amazing first climb and said what a difference his new splints make. Thank you for being so patient and for not giving up.

Sheer grit and determination on both parts, knowing the incredible difference, the right equipment makes and frustration that comes without or the wrong equipment. Chris can get back to doing what he loves and feeling able. Thank you."

Thanks to Chris and his family for allowing us to share.
