The ULTRA TRU-ALIGN
UNIVERSAL ALIGNMENT SYSTEM
The Ultra Tru-Align System is versatile tool for aligning prosthetic and orthotic joints. The
main features of the fixture include interchangeability among joint types, wide adjustment range
and most importantly, the ability to attach the fixture to an alignment stand.
The Ultra Tru-Align System consists of a Main Slide Bar which holds the Couplers and the
Attachment Block Receiver. The Main Slide Bar provides width adjustment and together with
the Attachment Block Receiver provides an attachment point to an alignment stand. With the
complimentary attachment stem the Ultra Tru-Align System can be used either on the V-Tech
Vertical Fabricating System or the Hosmer Vertical Alignment Jig. The Couplers are the
attachment point to the Main Slide Bar and hold the Hex Aligning Rods. As a mirrored pair, the
Couplers can exhange positions on the Main Slide Bar for additional width adjustment. The
Couplers provide depth adjustment for the Hex Aligning Rods. The Hex Aligning Rods provided
the attachment point for the Aligning Tabs. The hex shape of the Aligning Rods insure stable
alignment and can easily be removed and returned without loss of alignment. The Aligning Tabs
can be exchanged to accommodate the specific prosthetic or orthotic joints being used. This
interchangeability allows the use of one aligning fixture with a multitude ofjoints from various
manufacturers. Thus a standard aligning and manufacturing procedure can be used regardless of
what type joint is being used.
By attaching the fixture to an alignment stand the practitioner or technician is relieved of the
task of holding the device being fabricated. The stand can be used as a reference to alignment as
well a holding device. The use of the fixture in conjunction with an alignment stand allows the
model (particularly in the case of an orthosis) and the device being fabricated to be held
seperately yet in contiguous alignment. By use of a second fixture the knee and ankle joints can
be held seperately. Even a third can be added if a hip joint is involved to align all joints along a
predetermined alignment path. The fixtures can even be setup and aligned prior to the installation
of any components. Once setup, the device being fabricated can be removed from any of several
places on the fixture and consistently returned to the original position without loss of alignment.
By removing the Aligning Tab Quick-release Pin the device can be removed without disturbing
the fixture setup. In the case of an orthosis, by removing one Aligning Tab a single bar can be
removed, adjusted, and returned to the setup all without loss of alignment.
The Ultra Tru-Align System provides tremendous flexibility in setup and work process. The
fixture provides unique abilites to combine ease of alignment while removing and restoring
components without loss of alignment. In addition, the fixtures can be combined to handle
diverse products in the same setup. For example, one fixture can be used to hold a prosthetic
knee joint and a second fixture can hold a hip joint , different joint types yet the same aligning
fixture. Thus the fixture can simplif~ setup as well as the manufacturing process, truly a
Universal Alignment System.
