The Most Natural and Adaptable Knee Available.

The BTK is unlike any knee addressing amputee sports and rehabilitation activities.

By incorporating a unique and creative design the BTK mimics the smooth fluid function of a natural knee.

This action is accomplished by the combination of the newest generation 4.2 Monarch air/oil Rock Shox unit and a patented multi-durometer elastic tendon configuration.

This technology works together to provide a muscle driven system that delivers smooth consistent energy return and unique user feedback.

What would you do with a BTK?.

The BTK Difference.

The first and only knee of this type -
a Fabtech Exclusive.
The BTK is more than an oversized coil spring and simple shock design commonly seen when shopping for a high activity sports-only knee.

Large coil spring designs generate harsh jerky mechanical performance, and have many application limitations because the simple design.

The BTK overcomes harsh function by incorporating highly tunable state-of-the-art air/oil shock and multi-durometer elastic tendons. This unique design "smooths" out the knee action as it bends and extends through its cycle. Unlike mechanical steel springs that rely on compression to release its stored snappy energy, the BTK's tendons smoothly stretch and pull back, this resistance can be tuned by switching the tendons in different configurations in combination with adjusting the shock settings and pressure.
