The Standard in Stability, Performance

This microprocessor-controlled knee’s remarkable stability and versatility make it the Standard of Care.

 

C-Leg microprocessor knee.

Proven Technology

At a Glance
  • Microprocessor control of both swing and stance phase for stability and versatility
  • Automatic, real-time adjustment helps C-Leg® adapt to the user’s surroundings
  • Wireless remote control puts control in the palm of your patient’s hand
  • Second mode for activities that require different degrees of resistance
  • Static stance feature enables user to lock the knee between 7° and 70°

 

In 1997, Otto Bock introduced the C-Leg, the world’s first fully microprocessor-controlled knee. With most prosthetic knees, users worry about stumbling or falling, and have to keep their prosthetic knee straight with each step. But C-Leg Technology changed all that.

C-Leg allows the user to seamlessly speed up or slow down, take on hills or slopes, recover from stumbles and go down stairs step-over-step. The application of science behind the knee is revolutionary by using microprocessors to control the knee’s hydraulic function. The knee is constantly being fine-tuned to adjust to the user’s movements – anticipating what the user is doing and accommodating every change in real-time!

Adapting Swing Phase Dynamics

You can give your patients who use C-Leg more independence with the Adapting Swing Phase Dynamics feature. This gives C-Leg users the ability to slightly adjust swing phase for higher or lower dynamics for different activities. It’s a simple adjustment with the touch of the remote, and you can feel confident that it won’t compromise the knee’s stability.

Scope of Application

C-Leg is suited for people with knee-disarticulation, transfemoral, hip-disarticulation and hemipelvectomy limb loss in Mobility Grade 3 and 4 according to the Otto Bock MOBIS® Mobility System*. 

C-Leg Courses

You must be certified to fit your patients with either a C-Leg or Compact microprocessor knee. Learn more about becoming C-Leg certified.
