Unique, effective Stumble Recovery
For those who wear a leg prosthesis, carpet edges, scattered children's toys or curbs can pose a risk for trips and falls. To address this, our engineers have combined cutting-edge technology with decades of expertise, and the result is a unique and effective Stumble Recovery feature in all of our microprocessor-controlled knee joints. This feature has proven to reduce the risk of falls by up to 64%.
Whether you're walking slowly or quickly, taking big steps or small ones, walking on stairs or slopes — Ottobock's MPKs significantly minimise the risk of falling thanks to their unique Stumble Recovery.

Microprocessor knees with Stumble Recovery
Kenevo
The difference between a stumble and a fall can take milliseconds, and unlike other MPKs, the Kenevo does not need to detect a stumble to provide additional support. The knee is prepared during each swing phase for a stumble, meaning there is no reaction time. If a stumble was to occur as the knee is extending, the resistance is already high, preventing the knee from bending further when your foot makes contact with the floor.
C-Leg 4
C-Leg 4's electronic Stumble Recovery Plus is always active throughout the entire swing phase. Whether it's swing flexion or swing extension, Stumble Recovery Plus is always there to support you should a stumble occur.
Genium X4
Thanks to intelligent sensor technology, the Genium X4 responds to every move in real time. So you can change walking speeds, climb stairs step-over-step and overcome obstacles, without having to think about it.
