This product is designed for outdoor enthusiasts and elderly individuals who require additional knee support, focusing on enhancing mobility and reducing strain on the knee joint. When ascending, it provides firm support through assisted power output; when descending, it employs damping control to effectively absorb impact, significantly reducing knee fatigue and minimizing the risk of injury during hiking. Additionally, it enhances stability and support on uneven terrain, ensuring a safer and more comfortable walking user experience.

Inspired by the natural vortex motion of water, the design mimics the rotational flow and centripetal suction effect of a vortex, visually conveying a sense of power and dynamic energy. This product's structure aligns with the natural movement trajectory of the human knee, ensuring strong and stable support while maintaining ergonomic harmony.

Equipped with advanced sensor technology and intelligent algorithms, this product continuously monitors knee movement and applied force in real time, automatically adjusting assistance levels and angles for precise support. With its lightweight and portable build, adjustable fit, stable support, and intelligent assistance, this product provides users with an unparalleled walking experience—which is comfortable, efficient, and highly adaptive.
