Why offer an MPK trial fit?
Microprocessor knee (MPK) trial fittings provide an effective way to evaluate whether an MPK is appropriate for an individual patient before a long-term decision is made.
For O&P professionals, trial fittings offer valuable insight into how a patient responds to improved stability, gait control, and adaptive support in everyday situations.
The patients will have a chance to feel the differences in stability, confidence, terrain adaptation, and energy use in their daily environments. This boosts engagement, supports realistic goal‑setting, and leads to safer mobility and a better quality of life.
