RHEO KNEE |
THE NEW RHEO KNEE
Smooth, Safe and Surprisingly Simple
Össur’s proven Bionic Technology has been further developed for the new, second generation RHEO KNEE. It adapts automatically to individual gait patterns and changing environments, liberating the users to concentrate on what they are doing – not how they are walking.
A predictable and fluid motion through flexion and extension during swing and stance phase generates a natural, confident and energy efficient gait. Advanced artificial intelligence in the new RHEO KNEE understands how the user walks. It adjusts instantly to changes in speed, direction and terrain, automatically delivering the best response to any situation.

Smooth
The new RHEO KNEE is the closest yet to walking with a human knee. For accuracy and speed of response as well as fluency of transition, it delivers across a variety of requirements:
- Increased security with assured extension on stairs
- Simple to intitiate swing
- Great freedom of movement
- Optimal toe clearance at all walking speeds
Safe
Reliable and very secure, the new RHEO KNEE uses bionic technology to automatically adapt to individual gait patterns and changing environments. By far the most advanced system available the bionic technology behind the RHEO KNEE incorporates multiple safeguards against inadvertent stance release. This means it is far less likely to give way at crucial moments. Any disturbances in the walking path are recognised automatically and stance support is instantly activated to protect the user from a potential stumble and fall.
Surprisingly Simple
The new RHEO KNEE never stops learning how different people walk, making its movements smoother and more attuned to the user with every step they take.
The “plug and play” design ensures a straightforward set-up and helps identify optimal parameters for each individual. For the user, it is equally simple. After a few steps, optimum stance support and the incredibly smooth swing motion start to occur automatically. Once the knee is on and in motion, it barely requires a second thought.
