Bilateral Transfemoral Amputation
Lead a more independent life with electronic knee prostheses
Live life your way
A bilateral amputation no longer means you have to give up on your plans for your life. Modern prosthetic technology provides targeted support so you can lead a largely independent, self-determined life. Thanks to intelligent sensor technology, your joint also detects critical situations in advance so it can support you accordingly. From the integrated Stumble Recovery to Intuitive Stance to targeted support for sitting down – our knee's innovative functions have been developed for the specific needs of people with a unilateral or bilateral amputation. The evolvement of microprocessor knees now means amputees are able to live more independent lives and benefit from the additional freedom an intelligent prothesis provides

FAQs
The question of whether mechatronic prostheses are the right solution for you depends on various factors. Important aspects include the amputation level, the condition of your residual limb as well as your general physical condition. Sufficient training to build up the necessary muscles as well as close cooperation with your clinician and physiotherapist also play an important role.
Meeting your individual needs is a key factor in the development of our prostheses. That’s why our product range also includes the right mechatronic knee joint for your specific activity level and your individual life circumstances. Your clinician will work together with you to determine which prosthesis is right for you and will provide you with trial prostheses accordingly.
Our electronically controlled knee joints take into account not only different activity levels but also your individual need for safety. Thanks to intelligent sensor technology, they are able to support unilateral or bilateral amputees who wear them even in critical everyday situations. For example, the integrated Stumble Recovery in the Kenevo, C-Leg 4, Genium and Genium X3 prosthetic knee joints "recognises" an imminent stumble and can therefore prevent a fall before it happens.
It doesn’t have to be that way. Trial our electronically controlled Kenevo knee joints such as C-Leg, so you can experience everyday activities without your wheelchair or mechanical knee. Increasing your mobility in and around your home environment can enhance your social integration and enjoyment of life. The C-Leg is the most popular microprocessor knee in the world that helps you reclaim your determination.
