Kenevo

Robert enjoys the simple but important things in his life. Being able to plan his day, make breakfast or enjoy the afternoon in the garden. His Kenevo gives him support with adjusting to new situations and mastering everyday challenges.

Günter has loved classic cars since he was young. After his amputation, he knew he didn't want to give it up. With his Kenevo, he feels stable and secure, enabling him to enjoy everyday life and follow his passions.

Detlef loves taking regular walks and watching his grandson play football. He was concerned that he might have trouble recovering after his amputation, but with the Kenevo microprocessor knee, he feels safe and secure with every step.

Michael used the Kenevo to make the most of his therapy and rehabilitation. It took some time for him to trust the knee joint, but he worked with his physiotherapist and learned to navigate stairs, uneven surfaces, and more before switching to a Genium X3.

Physiotherapist Markus says, “The Kenevo is ideal for rehabilitation because I can let the knee joint grow with each patient. Thanks to its three activity modes, it supports my patients and their needs on a completely individual basis.”

As a prosthetist, Christian trusts Kenevo to help his patients recover. “Safety is the most important thing for the patient directly after amputation. The patient has to be confident that they can rely on the prosthesis.”

Whether he’s indulging in his passion for cars, mowing the lawn, or just planning out his day, Bob wants to know his knee will keep him safe and stable at all times. The Kenevo provides the reliable safety Bob needs to stay as independent as possible.

The joint is locked and does not initiate a swing phase. Mode A provides a high level of safety and doesn’t allow unexpected movements. 

Best for: Users who have little control over their residual limb, primarily walk only short distances indoors, and spend most of their time sitting.

The joint is locked during the entire stance phase but unlocks when the user starts the swing movement of their leg for the swing phase. Regardless of gait pattern or additional walking aids, the Kenevo always initiates the swing phase at the right time. 

Best for: Users who have moderate control of their residual limb, cover short distances, and walk slowly.

Same as mode B, but with the addition of stance phase flexion at heel strike of up to 10° for walking on moderate slopes. As soon as the user’s heel hits the ground, the knee bends slightly, resulting in a movement that looks and feels more natural.

Best for: Users who have built enough confidence in their prosthesis to walk with stance phase flexion.

The stance phase is not locked but has a high resistance. This enables the swing phase to be initiated earlier for more dynamic movements — and supports more natural walking with the same high level of safety on level ground, slopes, and stairs. 

Best for: Users who have moderate control of their residual limb, can navigate various everyday mobility scenarios, and are comfortable covering short-to-medium walking distances outdoors.
