A bilateral amputation no longer means having to give up on lifestyle or goals. Modern prosthetic technology provides bilateral amputees with targeted support so they can lead an independent and active life. From intelligent sensor technology that detects critical situations and engages Stumble Recovery to Intuitive Stance, Ottobock knee joints offer unparalled support for bilateral transfemoral amputees.

What do electronic knee prostheses have to offer users with a bilateral amputation?

• Our electronically controlled knee joints take into account not only different activity levels but also 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 X3 prosthetic knee joints "recognizes" an imminent stumbling process and can prevent a fall before it happens. In addition, the C-Leg 4, Genium, and X3 prosthetic knee joints feature a Deliberate Stance function that provides additional stability for bilateral amputees when standing.
