The C-Leg® represents the first and only microprocessor controlled hydraulic knee with swing and stance phase control. With the C-Leg®, amputees can finally walk without actually having to think about walking. This innovative knee joint features on-board sensor technology that reads and adapts to the individual’s every move.
By using special software and a personal computer, fine adjustments can be made to tailor the C-Leg® to the amputee. Angles and movements are measured 50 times per second ensuring the dynamic gait is as similar to natural walking as possible.
The C-Leg® allows for movement on flat terrain at different gait speeds with confidence. And thanks to the hydraulic stance control feature, it’s easier to tackle slopes, stairs and other uneven surfaces. See a demonstration of walking on the new C-Leg®.
