The Right Microprocessor Knee Can Change Everything.
Since introducing the world’s first fully microprocessor-controlled knee in 1997, Ottobock has continued to set the standard in prosthetic innovation. Today, clinicians trust Ottobock MPKs to support patients from early rehabilitation through high activity lifestyles with solutions backed by decades of research, real-world outcomes, and user feedback.
More Than Technology. Meaningful Outcomes for Your Patients.
Microprocessor knees dynamically adapt throughout the gait cycle to help patients move more naturally and confidently in everyday life. Compared to non-microprocessor systems, MPKs can support improved stability, reduced falls risk, smoother walking on uneven terrain, and greater confidence during daily activities.
Improved Stability & Confidence
Support safer movement on ramps, stairs, uneven terrain, and during variable walking speeds.
