The Rheo Knee is an intelligent prosthetic knee system. Able to recognize and constantly adapting the knee resistance to changes in the amputees speed, terrain and weight while walking. Amputees are able to walk anywhere more smoothly and securely, with less effort.

From a single step, the Rheo knee can determine the type of terrain the amputee is walking on and adjust the knee motion and degree accordingly. It is also able to learn a users personal walking style, optimizing swing control.

The knee is able to adapt from firm support when standing still to light movement when turning a corner. Carrying a heavy bag or changing sides when carrying the bag has an impact on the load on the prosthetic knee.

The Rheo Knee is able to adapt to changes in weight, allowing the user to continue walking effortlessly.

The Rheo knees ability to learn and respond to changes in walking terrain protects the amputee from stumbling.

It also allows amputees to walk for longer periods before getting tired.For more information, pictures and videos visit the Ossur website.
