Developed and tested for over 15 years, the Modus StepWatch™ system enables you to objectively assess your patients’ progress through data-driven solutions, which may support enhanced levels of care to achieve improved clinical outcomes.
Modus Health’s StepWatch™ activity monitor and Trex™ system were uniquely designed to meet the VA’s highly specific metrics, as well as validation for accuracy and generation of graphical reports that illustrate the required metrics.
Stance and swing time for gait symmetry, dynamic function including alignment, forces, and movements
Cadence and cadence variability
Step count – continuous recordings of total step count
Number of steps per selected time interval
Longitudinal, historical and objective analysis
Peak performance index, quantifiable into baseline and faster than baseline rate of walking, distance
and variable cadence

Linx
The world's first fully integrated microprocessor controlled limb system.
The Linx utilizes an integrated system of microprocessors, sensors and actuators for simultaneous control of the foot and knee.
Bi-directional communication coordinates the response to variations in terrain and speed, adjusting for the situational needs of the user.
Key Benefits include:
Stop & support/Lock mode
Controlled ramp descent with braking effect at the knee & ankle joint
Assist mode during ramp ascent
Dynamic stair descent
Supportive resistance to flexion
Integration of Mi2 technology and proximal power source reduces distal weight

Kinetic Revolutions - Adjustable Pylons Reimbursement Guide
L5999 – Addition to Lower Limb Prosthesis, Vertical Adjusting Pylon Feature, Adult or Pediatric
Justification#1 – The adjustable pylon is a necessary component to allow telescoping height adjustment to the prosthesis. This allows the wearer to eliminate leg length discrepancies during acute and long-term prosthetic treatments as a result of residual limb changes. One revolution allows a 1/16" adjustment either increasing or decreasing the height.
Justification #2 – The adjustable pylon is a necessary component to allow telescoping height adjustment to the prosthesis. This allows the wearer to limit leg length discrepancy which leads to lower back pain. One revolution allows a 1/16" adjustment either increasing or decreasing the height. With appropriate clinical supervision and training, the adjustments can be made by the user who may utilize the feature to accommodate adjustment of the prosthetic to match different heel heights as may be necessary to be worn on the sound side.
Narrative (80 Char Max for electronic, 76 for Paper) goes to Medicare “Addt to Lower Prosthesis, Vertical Adjusting Pylon Feature, Adult or Pediatric”
The justification should include the different mechanism of operation from standard and we need to come up with appropriate language for this (compared to the pylon included in base codes established prior) and the significant therapeutic distinction (where user adjustable w/ training might actually be the billable distinction?)
The key questions to answer are:
1. Does it operate differently
2. Does it provide significant therapeutic distinction & benefit
FULL DESCRIPTION/JUSTIFICATION(S)
L5999 – Addition to Lower Limb Prosthesis, Vertical Adjusting Pylon Feature, Adult or Pediatric
The Vertical Adjusting Pylon Feature allows therapeutic benefit beyond the standard tube and clamp pylon and in addition to the alignable endoskeletal systems. The patent pending design offers the wearer capability for telescoping height adjustments to accommodate limb volumetric changes, thereby improving fit and function by allowing necessary adjustments in prosthesis height. It is also useful for wearers who desire to wear a variety of shoes on their sound side that may have variable heel height.. The availability of unlimited telescoping adjustability of the vertical adjusting pylon limits the leg length discrepancy problem common to lower limb prosthetic wearers and thereby decreases the incidence of lower back pain. With clinician oversight and training the user can make adjustments to the pylon height allowing proper fit and function regardless of the shoe they select to wear that day. The same prosthesis may accommodate a ladies dress heel, an athletic shoe, or a sandal without sacrificing proper fit.
Similar to L5910 ADDITION, ENDOSKELETAL SYSTEM, BELOW KNEE, ALIGNABLE SYSTEM and L5920 ADDITION, ENDOSKELETAL SYSTEM, ABOVE KNEE OR HIP DISARTICULATION, ALIGNABLE SYSTEM, except the “alignability” described here refers to the coronal and sagittal planes due to the endoskeletal nature of the prosthesis. The function of the alignable endoskeletal addition is to allow adjustments/changes after provision of the prosthesis. The Vertical Adjusting Pylon attends to adjustment in the axial (height) plane and therefore is not “alignment”.
