Bilateral Transfemoral Amputation

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.

A bilateral transfemoral amputation doesn’t mean your plans for your life are over, but it does require a close consideration of various fitting solutions. Our electronically controlled C-Leg knee puts you on equal footing with your partner, as other users with bilateral amputations have already successfully shown. With this knee joint, you’ll benefit from proven functionality which can offer you a high level of stability and everyday safety.

Users who use our electronically controlled Genium knee joint have been able to make decisive steps towards a fulfilling professional and personal life after using their prosthesis for only a short time. The joint supports you with smart additional functions during a wide range of activities involving your family, job and leisure time. Resistant to splashed water, it also ensures an especially smooth walking pattern.

Those who want to continue with their career and actively support their family after a bilateral amputation will learn that our C-Leg knee joint is the right companion for their daily routine. Robust and suitable for everyday use, the joint supports walking backwards, climbing stairs and activities in and on the water, in addition to numerous walking speeds.
