Microprocessor-Controlled Knees

Microprocessor-Controlled Prosthetic Technology Experts

Manuel Garcia Prosthetic & Orthotic Centers have been an industry leader in microprocessor-controlled prosthetic technology; as new technology is developed, we are at the front of its development and utilization. We have beta-tested multiple products for manufacturers developing new and innovative products for amputees.

All prosthetic, orthotic, and pedorthic patients will need to obtain a prescription from their physician (physician notes if required for device) for an orthotic or prosthetic device.

Below, you’ll find more information regarding the microprocessor-controlled knees available at Manuel Garcia Prosthetic & Orthotic Centers. Call today to get started.

The C-Leg

Electronics calibrated to individual gait
Improved stumble recovery
Weight limit
300 lbs.
Multiple modes for multiple activities;
Two activity modes, such as specific job tasks or riding a bike
Hours of power
Lithium-ion battery provides 40–45 hours of power before re-charging

RHEO Knee

The world’s first microprocessor knee system to utilize the power of artificial intelligence
The silver-gray impact-resistant shell is made of high-resistance polyurethane, its shape reflecting the anatomy of the human knee and lower leg
A soft pad at the front improves sensation when kneeling
Integrated with a Bluetooth® module for wireless communication and setup processes
Rechargeable Li-Ion battery, which provides 24-48 hours of continuous use, dependent on activities

Orion Knee

The Orion is a microprocessor-controlled prosthetic knee in which the sensors measure knee action in real-time and process that information to anticipate support and speed requirements.

Hydraulic and pneumatic knee control actuators regulate the knee speed and security providing optimal walking on stairs, slopes, and over flat terrain. This results in fewer falls for the person wearing the prosthesis and a natural and relaxed gait.

Genium

Features
Walk upstairs step over step
Cross obstacles more smoothly
Walk backwards and forwards
Stand more easily
Sit naturally
Water-resistant—and more
The Genium is rated IPX-4 which means protection against splashed water from all sides
Stability and function in the palm of the hand
Five available activity modes
Battery life
5 days
Weight limit
Maximum limit up to 330 lbs.

LINX MPK System

Links is the only fully integrated limb system that has been recognized and awarded for its design and innovative technology.

Features

One central control system
7 movement sensors
22-real-time data analysis point
Controlled stance support
Standing support
Stumble recovery
Dynamic stair descent
Dynamic slope descent

Linx also provides precision performance in down and up ramps and speed and terrain. In addition to this, it also provides superior performance with ergonomic design, standing support, supported sitting, and biomimetic hydraulic technology.

Genium X3

Genium X3 is the most advanced microprocessor knee that is available in the market today and was developed in collaboration with the US military. With the Genium X3 you can worry less about stumbling or falling while you step backward and walk down the stairs, slopes, and uneven terrain.
