Above Knee Prosthetics
Carbon Fiber Socket
← Custom Designed Carbon Fiber Socket
The Carbon "Tripod" socket is both strong and lightweight and is an example of the innovative high quality work done at The Bader Clinic.
It was designed for a patient who has a short stump and difficulty being fit with standard devices. Fitted with a C-Leg it represents the State-of-the-Art in above knee prosthetics.
Otto Bock C-Leg®
With C-Leg® microprocessor-controlled knee you can speed up, slow down, take on hills and go down stairs step-over-step—all with a secure, more natural gait.
The revolutionary microprocessor that controls the C-Leg® receives feedback from multiple sensors 50 times a second, allowing the knee to anticipate your next move and make adjustments in real time. This keeps your knee stable when you weight it, free-swinging when you step through and always ready to support you if you stumble.
Whenever the C-Leg® senses that you're in an insecure position such as when you trip or stumble it will stiffen to provide the support you need to recover. When it senses that you're secure again, it offers its normal, reliable support.
The C-Leg® is intended for use only for amputation levels above the knee. We recommend the C-Leg® if you're a more active user who can take advantage of its Dynamic Swing Control and second mode.
The Bader Clinic has been trained and certified by Otto Bock to fit the C-Leg®. If you have any questions about whether C-Leg® technology is right for you, please contact us.
