X3 stories – John

Reclaim all you want to be.

The X3 has now been developed even further for smoother, more intuitive walking, improved safety, and better support in everyday situations. Another plus for you: The new prosthesis is simple to control using the Cockpit app on your iPhone or Android smartphone.*

Building on the unique functionality of the Genium leg prosthesis, the X3 is particularly robust and resilient. Physically demanding occupations, an active family life, swimming and sports activities, seaside holidays and situations where you encounter water, dust, sand, dirt, or grime – these are the ideal conditions for the X3.

Inductive charging

The inductive battery charger is magnetically attached to the back of the joint – so you can easily charge the prosthesis through the fabric of your clothing.

Battery and electronics

The X3’s rechargeable battery and electronics are enclosed and protected by the frame and Protective Cover. An integrated microprocessor coordinates all measurement and control processes.

Hydraulic unit

The hydraulic unit controls the X3. The flexion and extension resistances are controlled independently by means of two control valves.

Inertial motion unit (IMU)

Prosthesis control is based on motion analysis and additional force measurement. To this end, sensors determine the position and acceleration of X3 leg prosthesis as well as the flexion angle and flexion angle speed in real time.

Knee moment sensor

The knee moment sensor supplies data regarding the knee moments that occur. It therefore provides key information that makes it possible to precisely determine the forces acting on the prosthesis.

Robust Protective Cover

The robust Protective Cover effectively protects the prosthesis against numerous everyday stresses. In addition to water, dust and dirt, this includes protection against impacts.

Intelligent AXON tube adapter

The AXON tube adapter measures both the ankle moment and the vertical force acting on the joint in real time. The AXON tube adapter can be connected to a foot without a connecting piece.

Benefits at a glance

Confidence for every step

Due to its unique technology, the microprocessor-controlled leg prosthesis gives you a smooth gait pattern that is easy on your body, giving you freedom in everyday life.

Highly natural

Thanks to intelligent sensor technology, your X3 responds reliably – in real time. As a result, it lets you change walking speeds, use stairs step-over-step, overcome obstacles safely, stand in a relaxed position on inclines and walk backwards.

Water? No problem

The X3 lets you shower, swim, or work in damp conditions without thinking twice. Special materials, coatings, and components protect the electronics. The joint is waterproof (even when exposed to strong jets of water) and corrosion-resistant.

Custom modes

Want to configure your leg prosthesis for activities you do frequently? No problem: Thanks to the large selection of MyModes plus, you and your technician can set up to five pre-settings for work, recreation, and sports. These can be easily selected using the app or a movement pattern.

Genium X3 user Kerstin uses the Cockpit app to configure her leg prosthesis for training on the cross-trainer.

Change your prosthesis settings yourself

The new X3 allows you to check the battery charge level or quickly activate your personal pre-settings, via the Cockpit app for iPhone and Android devices.

Moving at high speed

Whether you’re running to catch the bus or keeping up with your kids: The walk-to-run function lets you change speeds spontaneously for short sprints. An additional running mode for longer distances was developed especially for sports activities with the X3.

Functionality

Unique technology at the heart of your mobility

Movement is calculated with incomparable accuracy and initiated in real time by the X3, whether on uneven terrain and slopes, when changing speeds or in confined spaces. Studies prove that providing targeted relief for the contralateral side also has long-term health benefits. Particularly robust materials allow even more freedom of movement, including in wet and harsh environments. You can focus on the important things in life, rather than having to think about every step.

Smart adjustment options via app

It’s all in your hands. Thanks to integrated Bluetooth®, the X3 can be configured. You can:

select additional movement patterns, which are stored by your technician as MyModes
switch the joint to mute mode when you visit a cinema or theatre.
read the battery charge level with the Cockpit app

The X3 can be configured with the Cockpit app for Android was well as Apple (iOS) devices.*

FAQ

Who can wear the X3?

The X3 is suitable for all above-knee amputees who will benefit from its outstanding everyday characteristics and want to experience new possibilities thanks to the water and corrosion resistance of the X3. Bilateral amputees can benefit from the X3 as well.
How long will the battery of the X3 last?

Vibration signals warn you in a timely manner when the battery charge level becomes critically low. Once it is drained entirely or if the power supply fails, the X3 automatically switches to safety mode.
Can I shower or go swimming with the X3?

The X3 is waterproof (even against strong jets of water), and only corrosion-resistant components are used. High-quality materials protect the sensitive electronics in the prosthesis. The Genium X3 was assigned the highest possible protection class, IP 68.
