3C60 - Knee prosthetics

Kenevo

A new option for enhanced safety and increased confidence

Since its launch in 2015, the Kenevo microprocessor knee fundamentally changed prosthetics for low to moderately active amputees. This prosthetic knee was designed to provide you with a greater sense of security so you can live the life you deserve.

Since its launch in 2015, the Kenevo microprocessor knee fundamentally changed prosthetics for low to moderately active amputees. This prosthetic knee was designed to provide you with a greater sense of security so you can live the life you deserve.

Microprocessor-controlled knees have been shown to reduce the risk of falls by up to 80%1 in moderately active persons, as well as improve the indicators of fall risk, such as fear of falling.2

With key features such as Stumble Recovery Plus, supported stand-to-sit and sit-to-stand, wheelchair mode, and putting on the prosthesis while seated, it is no wonder users feel more confident and independent than ever before.

Stability in every step

    Supported sitting down
    Support for sitting down and standing up

    The Kenevo automatically detects when users start to sit or stand, mirroring their speed to keep them stable and in control during the transition. With no manual adjustments needed, their hands are free to use a chair or walking aid for support as desired.

    Wheelchair function
    Cane, walker, and wheelchair support

    The Kenevo is fine-tuned to support users with walkers, canes, or other assistive devices. Plus, with one hand movement, the wheelchair function locks the knee in a slightly outstretched position to keep the leg off the ground so users can maneuver safely.

    Standing function
    Works well with assistive devices

    The Kenevo is fine-tuned to support those who may need a walker, cane, or other assistive devices, so it will support you every step of the way no matter how you get there! If you sometimes use a wheelchair, the Kenevo won’t get in your way. The Kenevo’s wheelchair function enables you to keep adequate clearance between the prosthesis and the ground so you can maneuver easily.

    Enhanced safety
    Walk securely and with confidence

    The Kenevo was specifically designed so you can walk safely, especially on uneven terrain, down stairs and ramps, and backward. Stumble Recovery Plus is just one of the Kenevo’s safety features, which gives you the time to recover if you were to stumble. The Kenevo makes users feel safe again, allowing them to become more mobile and independent.

    Asissted descent of ramps

    A new function of the Kenevo provides intuitive support while walking down ramps. As you bend the knee, the resistance increases to support and control your descent. This improves stability and can support your mobility, both indoors and out.

    Kenevo now weatherproof (IP 54)

    Kenevo is now weatherproof with IP 54 protection—protected against dust and water splashes. Whether it’s a rain shower, splashes of water during daily hygiene, or a spilled glass of water, users no longer need to worry. Kenevo handles everyday situations with ease and brings peace of mind.

    Intuitive indoor bicycle function
    Exercise easily and safely

    Exercise without compromising safety or comfort with the Kenevo’s intuitive stationary indoor bicycle function. As soon as you sit down and start pedaling, the Kenevo automatically switches functions to support your movement. Once you are finished, simply get off the stationary indoor bike and the Kenevo will automatically go back to “normal” mode so you can walk safely.

    Manual locking function

    With the manual locking function, the Kenevo can be conveniently secured in the extended position by a simple tapping pattern, even when using a cosmetic solution. This offers users with low mobility additional stability in situations where increased safety is needed.

    Training Feedback Features

    Al ponerse de pie es posible cargar la Kenevo. Incluso aunque tenga que hacer una pausa, esto no supone problema alguno, ya que la prótesis de pierna reacciona de inmediato y permite hacer una pausa con la rodilla flexionada. Una función para lograr equilibrio y estabilidad.

    Supported standing up
    Sit and stand up with ease

    Do you sometimes need to pause a moment as you are sitting down or standing up? If yes, don’t worry! The Kenevo automatically detects when you start to sit down or stand up, and will support both movements so you do not fall into or back in the chair. Since no manual adjustments of the knee are necessary, this leaves your hands free so you can use an armrest or assistive device, if needed.

    Charging with foam cover
    Next-level convenience

    Putting on the Kenevo is easier than ever thanks to complete flexion of the knee joint. Plus, it can now be charged without removing the foam cover. Just a couple of ways Kenevo users get more time — and less stress — back in their day.

    For users up to 330.69 lbs (150 kg) body weight

    The Kenevo is available for users with a body weight of up to 330 lbs (150 kg). This expands the application possibilities and enables even more users to benefit from the advantages of the mechatronic knee joint.

    More support for O&P professionals

    The app connectgo.pro for Android and iOS smartphones and tablets makes it easy for O&P professionals to quickly and conveniently program the Kenevo for their users.

User Experience

Kenevo users move forward with confidence

A week with Karin. Confident thanks to Kenevo.

Karin goes about her day with confidence thanks to the Kenevo. Whether she's shopping, gardening, or spending time with her grandchild, the knee joint offers her reliable support and safety in everyday situations. Even in rain or dusty conditions, she stays worry-free because Kenevo is protected against splashing water and dust. That means more freedom and peace of mind for Karin.

Functionality

3 activity modes to suit changing needs

Mode A: Locked Mode

In mode A, the Ottobock knee joint is locked and does not initiate a swing phase. The Kenevo provides a high level of safety and does not allow unexpected movements.

The locked mode is especially appropriate if you have little control over your residual limb, primarily walk only short distances indoors, and spend most of your time sitting.

Mode A: locked mode
