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




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