RESEARCH

Powered prosthetics are quickly becoming a primary focal point of prosthetic research globally as preliminary and anecdotal evidence indicates some potentially exciting implications. Multiple independent research projects are in progress exploring possible effects of Power Knee on speed and quality of rehabilitation for K2 and K3 populations, energy cost of walking, improvements of user confidence and quality of life, and reduction or prevention of asymmetry and overuse related comorbidity.

If you are interested in performing research with Power Knee please enter a request in the Try Power webform and a representative from our Clinical Research team will connect with you.
