Stumble recovery
Microprocessor knees read your gait dozens of times a second and add resistance the moment you stumble, which can prevent a fall. Mechanical knees offer no such protection.

Why the knee choice matters so much
With an above-knee prosthesis your day-to-day safety comes down to how dependable the knee is in stance phase.
Stairs and ramps
Stepping down stairs foot over foot, and walking controlled on a slope, is only realistic with stance-phase control.
Energy and fatigue
When swing phase adjusts itself, walking takes less effort and end-of-day fatigue drops noticeably.
Knee joint options
The right choice follows your activity level and safety needs, not the price tag.

Frequently asked questions
A mechanical knee works at a fixed resistance. A microprocessor knee measures your gait with sensors and adjusts resistance in real time, so it can support you as you stumble and give you control on stairs and slopes.
With a stance-phase controlled microprocessor knee, step-over-step descent is possible. It is taught as part of gait training.
Casting, manufacture, fitting, knee tuning and gait training are planned into a single visit. The exact timeline follows your residual limb and the knee chosen, and we confirm it in writing after the assessment.
The knee joint is the biggest single item, followed by the foot, socket system and liner. After the assessment you receive an itemised quote with no hidden fees.
