Here's what "highly active" looks like day to day.
You're a hard-charger with demanding days that don't let up.

But you need a prosthesis you can push as hard as yourself, rain or shine, sand or snow.
If that sounds every bit as driven as you, keep reading to see what kind of prosthetic components you'll want to consider.
You live every day to the absolute max

Doesn't sound like your day-to-day?
Are you a less active individual who mostly enjoys light activities around the house? Or a much more active person with lots of personal and professional to-do's each day? Explore these other pages for prostheses that support a gentle daily pace, as well as component combinations for users with busy everyday lives.
Combinations to consider for above-knee amputees (AKA).
When you're going all-out, all day, everyday, you need a special kind of prosthesis built to support the highest possible level of activity. Fortunately, there's a range of components designed just for users who want maximum performance.
If you have an above-knee amputation, you'll need all the components of a prosthetic leg: a prosthetic foot and knee, a liner, and a socket designed by an expert prosthetist (or CPO, Certified Prosthetist-Orthotist). Below are several recommended combinations with different features and advantages — but also different cost levels.
Like most prosthetic devices, these combinations typically fall into three price ranges:
Premium: The most advanced components available, these components offer the best possible performance but may have limited insurance coverage.
Standard: These popular components typically offer excellent performance and trusted technology at a cost that's typically covered by more insurers.
Value: Tried and true, these less technologically advanced components still offer solid, dependable support for a widely covered price.
Maverick Xtreme AT foot, Genium X4 knee, and SiOCX TF Pro socket
Built for even the most high-intensity activities, the Maverick Xtreme AT foot is a great choice to pair with the Genium X4 — a premier knee that enables effortless mobility. Combining them with a customizable SiOCX TF Pro socket with integrated ClickValve, the prosthesis provides exceptional all-day comfort and control.
Combinations to consider for below-knee amputees (BKA).
Many of the same components are also a great fit for highly active individuals who just need a prosthetic foot, liner, and socket. Most of these products still fall into the same premium, standard, and value price ranges when used for a below-knee prosthesis.
Just like with a prosthetic leg, your CPO is always the best possible resource to consult when you're considering your options. They're there to help you understand which components are the best possible fit and the most financially feasible for you.
Maverick Xtreme AT foot, Uneo custom liner, and Harmony P4 suspension
Made from high-grade fiberglass, the Maverick Xtreme AT foot has the durability, flexibility, and energy return that highly active users need. Combined with a Uneo Unique custom liner and lightweight Harmony P4 vacuum suspension system plus ProFlex Plus sealing sleeve, it will keep you comfortably in control through even your most high-impact activities.
More ways to enhance and personalize your prosthesis.
When you push the limits as hard as you do, even small enhancements can lead to big differences. If there are some extra functions you want to add to your prosthesis — like being able to easily swap feet or more naturally rotate your leg — ask your prosthetist about useful adapters like the ones below.
Quickchange adapter
For some users, having multiple feet or foot-knee combinations to choose from is the best way to get the flexibility and customization they want. A Quickchange adapter makes it easy to switch between components for different activities.

Rotation adapter
For users with a prosthetic knee joint, one popular addition is a special adapter that lets them turn or rotate their prosthesis more like their natural leg. This addition can make many daily activities even easier, like driving, putting on shoes, or crossing your legs.

And your socket? That’s where an expert comes in.
Your socket is the direct physical link between you and your new limb. Because every body is unique, this component rarely comes off the shelf. Instead, your CPO will typically custom-build a socket that perfectly matches your residual limb.
This personalized fit is the secret to a secure, comfortable fit that keeps you safe and stable — so trust your expert prosthetist to ensure the perfect fit.
