Introducing Hypnos: the first hip abduction assist brace.

For patients with Trendelenburg gait, hip abductor weakness can make it difficult to keep the pelvis level during walking.

Hypnos is designed to address that weakness mechanically, delivering dynamic, patient-adjustable abduction assistance to supplement deficient hip abductor function and support more stable gait mechanics.

Take a closer look in these photos, and learn more at the link in the first comment.

We’ve been looking forward to this moment: introducing Hypnos to the hip care community at ISHA!

The first hip abduction assist brace is making its clinical debut among some of the world’s leading hip surgeons and specialists. Join us to explore its approach to Trendelenburg gait and discuss other potential applications.

Our lunchtime workshop, “Abductor Tears of the Hip: Case Based Review and Introduction of a Novel Abductor Assist Hip Brace,” features:

• Michael Ellman, MD — Panorama Orthopedics
• James Genuario, MD — The Sports Center, CommonSpirit
• John Christoforetti, MD — The Centers for Advanced Orthopedics
• Michael Salata, MD — University Hospitals

📍 Room 6 | 12:45–13:35

Attending ISHA? Be part of this milestone with us and get a first look at a new approach to hip bracing.

Introducing the Hypnos Hip Brace!

We’re expanding into hip bracing with dynamic, patient-adjustable hip abduction assistance. Hypnos is designed to supplement deficient hip abductor function, supporting hip stability and a more natural gait.

Watch the overview video for a first look.

We’re showcasing Hypnos at the ISHA 2026 Annual Scientific Meeting in Bruges, Belgium, October 8–10. If you’re attending, come meet our team and see it firsthand!

Relearning to walk after a stroke can require a very different level of support.

The Zeus KAFO + FCD gives clinicians the ability to limit knee flexion or provide full extension lockout when greater stability is needed. As the patient’s needs change, support can be adjusted toward the brace’s dynamic energy return system for a more dynamic configuration.

A closer look at the full first-use experience.

This patient has experienced severe knee hyperextension and foot drop following a stroke, creating a complex combination of lower extremity weakness and instability.

In this full video, we first look at her pre-brace gait and the underlying mechanics contributing to the hyperextension and foot drop. From there, you can see her custom Zeus KAFO with the Flexion Control Dial being introduced and adjusted to provide greater mechanical support at the knee.

The video then follows her first steps in the brace, beginning with support from the parallel bars and progressing to her first steps without that aid.

This is an initial use rather than a long-term outcome, but it provides a detailed look at how the FCD can be used within a custom KAFO for a complex presentation.

Learn more about the FCD in the first comment.

More than 40 years of severe knee hyperextension. Countless braces tried.

This patient has lived with long-term lower extremity weakness and instability following a stroke. Her custom Zeus KAFO with the new Flexion Control Dial was configured to provide greater mechanical support at the knee and adjustable control of permitted flexion.

The FCD gives clinicians another way to configure a KAFO for patients with significant weakness, instability, or recurrent knee buckling, including the ability to limit permitted knee flexion or provide full extension lockout when needed.

This video captures her first fitting with the Zeus + FCD.

The Flexion Control Dial is now available on Kronos, Hercules, and Zeus.

Today, we are proud to officially introduce the Flexion Control Dial.

The FCD has been in development, testing, and refinement for a long time, and bringing it to market represents an important step forward for Icarus Medical and for the way adjustable knee flexion can be managed in orthotic care.

Earlier this year, our founder and CEO, Dave Johnson, put the FCD through some final durability testing on the mountain. For Dave, the additional mechanical support provided by the FCD gave him the confidence and support he needed to snowboard for the first time in years.

But the bigger story is what this technology can offer clinicians and patients.

The FCD gives clinicians a simple mechanical way to adjust permitted knee flexion directly on the brace. From postoperative rehabilitation requiring changing range of motion to KAFO patients who need greater mechanical stability at the knee, settings can be adapted with the turn of a dial.

No swapping between multiple brace configurations.
No changing individual flexion stops.
More ability to configure the orthosis around the patient.

Available on Kronos, Hercules, and Zeus.
