Genium

Choose intuitive movement patterns

With the market launch of the Genium leg prosthesis, Ottobock opened up entirely new horizons for prosthesis wearers: a nearly natural gait pattern, climbing stairs step-over-step, walking backwards, relaxed standing – to name just a few examples. The benefits of being fitted with a Genium have been scientifically proven in multiple studies.

With the market launch of the Genium leg prosthesis, Ottobock opened up entirely new horizons for prosthesis wearers: a nearly natural gait pattern, climbing stairs step-over-step, walking backwards, relaxed standing – to name just a few examples. The benefits of being fitted with a Genium have been scientifically proven in multiple studies.

The Genium has been enhanced based on human movement as the model. The result is a noticeably smoother gait and even better support and safety in everyday situations, for instance on ramps, in confined spaces or when changing walking speeds. Five individually selectable MyModes support special movement patterns at work or play. 

The Genium can be configured with the Cockpit app, which is now available not only for Android but Apple (iOS) devices as well.

Benefits at a glance

Intuitive flow with every step

Free your mind
Close to natural gait pattern with OPG

Thanks to its unique OPG (Optimized Physiological Gait) technology, the Genium supports an exceptionally smooth walking pattern. This near-natural gait pattern relieves the user’s locomotor system, providing greater freedom and flexibility for everyday situations and activities.

An excellent long-term fitting
Support for everyday obstacles

Life is full of ups, downs and everyday challenges. With the Genium, users can easily take stairs step-over-step and overcome obstacles such as curbs.

Weatherproof
Weatherproof (IP 67)

Users don't have to worry about encountering occasional water splashes. The Genium is weatherproof (IP67 rated) but it is not waterproof. You should not wear it in the shower or for activities like swimming.

Relaxed standing
Relaxed standing

The Genium offers two different stance functions that allow users to rest on their prosthesis. The result is continuous relief for the contralateral side of the body. Bilateral users also benefit from the option of choosing between the stance functions. 

MyMode plus
MyMode Plus

Genium users can easily get more support for their favourite activities. MyModes offer a fantastic selection of options for work, leisure and athletics. Together with their O&P professional, users can select from five modes for activation via the Cockpit app.

Simple control on the go: the Cockpit app
Smart configuration via app

With the Cockpit app, users can fine tune settings individually, switch between MyModes, check their battery life, set their volume, track their activities, restart their knee joint if needed, and more — all via their iOS or Android smartphone. 

User Experience

Genium users jump into life with both feet

Aaron is ready for anything

There’s nothing more important to Aaron than being able to keep up with his fast-paced family. And for this bilateral amputee, there’s no challenge too great — whether he’s at work, on a weekend getaway with his kids, or out fishing.

Hamed explores new adventures

Hamed’s leg was amputated when he was only six years old — but never let it keep him from leading an active life filled with family, friends, and sports. Always seeking new challenges, Hamed loves how his prosthesis takes him on new journeys every day.

Functionality

Advanced technology, exceptional control

A groundbreaking microprocessor knee

In 2011, the Genium took the MPK world by storm, delivering truly breakthrough gait performance. And over the last decade, it has continued to evolve, pushing ever further toward the natural model. 

Calculating every movement with incomparable precision and accuracy, the Genium responds in real time to support users exactly when and how they need it. 

The OPG (Optimized Physiological Gait) technology enables an exceptionally smooth walking pattern — even on slopes or uneven terrain, when changing speeds, or in confined spaces. This also provides targeted relief for the user’s contralateral side, promoting long-term health benefits and helping users live more in the moment.
 

More control at your fingertips

Integrated Bluetooth® technology empowers users and O&P professionals to configure the Genium via the Cockpit app, available for Android and iOS devices. A few taps are all it takes to activate MyModes for additional support during a wide variety of activities, mute the knee joint while at a theater or other event, or check the battery charge level.

The sensor technology in the Genium X3 makes intuitive and natural motion sequences possible, even when you’re walking backwards or climbing stairs, or when switching between different walking speeds and stride lengths. Enhanced safety and quality of life along with relief for the contralateral side are just some of the aspects that can benefit patients considerably; and this has been scientifically proven.The Genium X3 is particularly robust and resilient. Physically demanding occupations, an active family life, swimming and sports activities, seaside holidays and situations where you encounter water, dust, sand, dirt or grime – these are the ideal conditions for the Genium X3.The Genium X3 has now been developed even further on this basis for smoother, more intuitive walking, improved safety and better support in everyday situations.The Genium X3 is incredibly simple to configure using the Cockpit app on your iPhone or Android smartphone.
