The Design of the POWER KNEE

Designed to allow the user to perform more complex activities than previously possible, the POWER KNEE is unique in its capacity to generate power from within.

The outer design of the prosthesis reflects the anatomical shape of the leg just below the knee. Sensors and associated electronics – which process data, apply artificial intelligence and control the movement and power of the knee – are all strategically positioned within the knee and contribute to its overall shape.

Constructed from aluminum, the frame is strong enough to cope with the power generated by the knee. The battery pack is detachable and can be instantly replaced with a fully charged pack, so there is no need to recharge the unit as a whole. Securely positioned, it is also easily accessible to the user.
