C-Leg®compact
Functionality
This prosthesis is an electronic leg prosthesis system with hydraulic
stance and swing phase control. The electronic system learns the
individual phases of the step, allowing for a harmonious movement
of the prosthetic lower limb. In other words, the C-Leg®compact -Leg®compact Leg®compact
can adapt to different walking speeds and provides knee stability
the moment it is needed. At heel contact you may notice the added
hydraulic stance stability. Any unintentional bending of the knee such
as may occur when walking on uneven terrain, etc. will be prevented.
This knee joint makes it easy to comfortably walk downhill or go
downstairs with a natural gait. Thanks to its microprocessor control,
the prosthesis moves in a very natural way. During every phase of
walking, the C-Leg®compact offers you safety and comfort, regard-
less of your walking style, so you can move around carefree.
The C-Leg®compact has two modes: The compact mode is intended
for everyday use; in this mode, an additional standing function can
optionally be activated and deactivated with the remote control.
The therapy mode enlarges the field of application of the
C-Leg®compact and offers additional functionality for early mo-
bilization after amputation. This mode can only be adjusted by a
prosthetist.
