POWER KNEE™

The global leader in the most innovative prosthetic solutions presents a new milestone in amputee mobility, the POWER KNEE. The POWER KNEE remains the world‘s first and only motor-powered, artificially intelligent prosthesis for above-knee amputees and defines the future of lower extremity prosthetics.

The first and only motor-powered prosthetic knee, the POWER KNEE works as an integrated extension of the user, designed to restore the power of lost muscles and symmetry of movement that is vital for those with limb loss. POWER KNEE gives users the ability to cover greater distances than they could previously. Confidently negotiating obstacles and inclines has never been easier, and ascending stairs foot-over-foot is now possible. By providing powered extension and heel rise, the POWER KNEE mimics lost proprioception and muscle function. In addition, it is now sleeker, quieter, easier to fit and use, and the improved battery technology allows users to experience the unique benefits of the POWER KNEE all day long.

Product Highlights:

• Powered extension - the POWER KNEE can help lift the user from a seated to a standing position, support the user while ascending inclined surfaces, and power them up stairs.
• Powered swing extension with an active pendulum motion, swinging forward when the user walks, the POWER KNEE restores natural walking dynamics during each step and enables pelvic rotation for a more natural gait.
• Active heel rise and knee flexion - on level ground as well as on changing terrain, the POWER KNEE actively lifts the heel off the ground. The result is sufficient toe clearance during swing, designed to prevent stumbling and improve user safety.
• Mimics natural proprioception - the POWER KNEE anticipates and responds with the appropriate function required for the next step and monitors and adjusts gait symmetry to optimize the user’s gait.
