UTX: Lightweight, Dynamic Leg Orthosis

The UTX is a line of lightweight, dynamic leg braces designed with smart, innovative solutions that prioritize comfort, aesthetics, and functionality. Our goal is to provide maximum support with minimal bulk, ensuring a stable and secure gait for individuals who struggle with leg stabilization.

More Than Just Walking

At Ambroise, we believe that walking “okay” isn’t enough. Everyday activities like putting on and taking off the brace, sitting comfortably, or getting in and out of a car matter just as much. Since people spend a significant amount of time sitting, we’ve designed the UTX to support not only walking but also daily life.

Unlike conventional leg braces that use rigid shell components, the UTX features a soft bandage at the back of the upper leg for enhanced comfort while sitting and to prevent excessive wear on clothing. Additionally, its slim quick-release system allows for easy adjustments, ensuring a perfect fit every time—without the hassle of readjusting the tension daily.

With the UTX, you get freedom of movement, stability, and ease of use—all in one sleek, lightweight design.

The UTX SWING – First Worldwide

The UTX SWING was the first leg orthosis in the world to provide targeted stabilization, supporting the leg only when necessary—during standing and the stance phase of walking—while allowing free movement during the swing phase. This innovation enables a more natural gait with knee flexion, restoring smoother and more dynamic movement.

When it was first introduced, many found it hard to believe that such innovative technology came from a small company in Enschede. Over the years, the UTX line has continued to evolve and expand, solidifying its place as one of the most innovative leg orthoses worldwide and the flagship product of Ambroise.

Who is the UTX for?

The UTX orthosis is a long leg brace designed for people whose leg muscles no longer function properly. This can have various causes, such as the effects of MS (multiple sclerosis) or a CVA (cerebrovascular accident, commonly known as a stroke or brain hemorrhage). Other possible causes include lesser-known conditions such as IBM (inclusion body myositis) or femoral nerve neuropathy. The common factor in these cases is a loss of control over the quadriceps (thigh muscle), making knee stabilization difficult and causing walking problems.

A UTX Orthosis for You?

There are different versions of the UTX orthosis, tailored to the specific needs of each individual. The most suitable version for you depends on several factors. That’s why a thorough assessment is essential. This evaluation considers your needs, limitations, and remaining muscle functions, as well as your personal situation, including living conditions, work, and hobbies, which may influence the best solution for you.

Our clinical experts are happy to work with you to determine the best option. Schedule a free consultation to discover how the UTX can benefit you.
