Description
The Ottobock C-Leg, a microprocessor-controlled prosthetic knee joint designed for transfemoral (above-knee) amputees, offering advanced hydraulic control for dynamic, natural-feeling walking by adapting resistance in real-time to different speeds and terrains, allowing for a more active lifestyle with enhanced safety features like stumble recovery. It's part of the C-Leg series, known for its sophisticated sensors and electronics that manage swing and stance phases, making it a reliable component for prosthetic lower limbs. Key Features & Functionality: Microprocessor Control: Sensors and a microprocessor adjust hydraulics for fluid motion, providing support and control. Stumble Recovery: Automatically detects fall-like movements to help users regain balance. Activity-Based Adaptation: Responds to different walking speeds and situations, from walking to stairs. Applications: Suitable for active transfemoral amputees and even some hip disarticulation cases. Technology: Utilizes advanced electronics and hydraulics for reliability and performance.
