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.
I-Limb
The modular construction of the i-LIMB Hand means that each individually powered finger can be quickly removed by simply removing one screw. This means that a prosthetist can easily swap out fingers that require servicing and patients can return to their everyday lives after a short clinic visit. Traditional devices would have to be returned to the manufacturer, often leaving the patient without a hand for many weeks
Dropfoot (also known as drop foot, foot drop and footdrop) is a condition characterized by weakness or paralysis of the muscles involved in lifting the front part of the foot. It causes a person to either drag the foot and toes or engage in a high-stepping walk called steppage gait. A significant number of individuals – men and women, young and old – experience difficulty with the most simple day-to-day activities because of mobility dysfunctions such as peroneal nerve palsy that lead to dropfoot. WalkAide was designed to restore mobility to those individuals seeking a return to independence.
