Additional information:

The Standard of Care—for 10 years!

 

The C-Leg® Microprocessor-controlled prosthetic knee started a revolution for above‑knee amputees.

 

Since it was introduced in the U.S. in 1999, more than 25,000 people worldwide have taken advantage of the unparalleled stability offered by the C-Leg and its companion microprocessor‑controlled knee, the Compact—making this technology the new Standard of Care.

 

C-Leg technology incorporates sensor feedback and microprocessor control, which allow the knee to adjust to your unique gait and provide you with secure, reliable walking.

 

With the C-Leg or Compact, you can walk confidently—without having to think about your next step.

 

 

Stability right when you need it

 

With the C-Leg® and Compact knees you can speed up, slow down, take on hills and go down stairs step-over-step. You get unparalleled stability right when you need it—along with a secure, more natural gait.

 

 

How C-Leg technology works

 

The revolutionary microprocessor that controls the C-Leg and Compact knees receives feedback from multiple sensors multiple times a second, allowing the knee to anticipate your next move and make adjustments in real-time. This keeps your knee stable when you need it, free-swinging when you step through—and always ready to support you if you stumble.

Otto Bock - C-Leg
Great for stability/balance
by Jenrobinson on 2/26/2010 9:01:54 AM
Microprocessor knees are the closest they have come to mimicking natural knee function. I got this knee when I was pregnant, because my balance was off & I needed maximum stability, especially when carrying a newborn. I wore it happily for several years. However, I'm a small person and I wanted a shorter & lighter weight knee unit. I wear a Total knee now. Though I have to 'work' now when I walk, I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing for me. That's just me, everyone is different. I do miss the C-Leg from time to time, particulary when running around on uneven terrain, going down stairs/ramps, etc... I'm happy insurance companies are finally looking at the MANY research studies that prove this knee, when indicated, is medically necessary & covered. If the manufacturer is able to size the unit down for smaller users, I may re-visit it.
