C-Leg and Its Benefits

Ottobock C-Leg Prosthetic Knee Offers Advanced Support, increased stability and control, the Ottobock C-Leg is one of the safest above-knee microprocessor prosthetics on the market today. It offers a sophisticated technology that provides security and support, greatly reducing the likelihood of trips and falls.

What is C Leg?

C-Leg is a microprocessor-controlled knee that controls both stance and swing phases throughout the gait cycle without any effort by the amputee. The C-Leg is the safest microprocessor-controlled knee joint and therefore extremely reliable. The C-Leg adjusts itself dynamically to various everyday situations from stairs and ramps to varying surfaces and walking backwards. Integrated Stumble Recovery ensures even greater everyday safety. A relaxed standing position with a slightly flexed knee is intuitive now. The ability to control the joint with an app on Apple (iOS) and Android devices is also new.

The C-Leg technology provides intelligent control of the prosthesis for people with a transfemoral amputation and adapts it to your gait pattern in real-time. Behind this is a complex sensor system that captures data in real-time and recognizes which phase of walking you are in, whether on level ground, going downstairs step-over-step, on slopes or difficult surfaces such as forest floor, sand and gravel.
