The power Knee is a powered bionic prosthesis designed for above-knee amputees.

As a worlds first, the Power knee is the leader of its kind in the market. What makes it unique is its ability to power and mimic true muscle activity when bending or straitening the bionic knee.

Amputees benefit greatly from the knee during walking, climbing steps and standing up or down. Up stairs the Power Knee lifts the foot up, making foot over foot walking possible.

When walking on level ground, the knee propels the prosthetic leg forward. Amputees can thus walk faster and longer distances before becoming tired.

During walking the Power Knee lifts the heel of the ground every time. This ensures sufficient toe clearance with each step, preventing the amputee from falling.

The Power Knee also reduces strain n the residual limb and lower back. Improving the overall physique of an amputee.
