The
3C100 C-Leg® represents the first and only microprocessor-controlled
hydraulic knee with swing and stance phase control. With the C-Leg®,
amputees can finally walk without thinking about how to walk! This
innovative knee joint features on-board sensor technology that reads
and adapts to the individual's every move. By using special software
and a PC, fine adjustments can be made to tailor the C-Leg® to
the amputee. Angles and moments are measured 50 times per second ensuring
the dynamic gait is as similar to natural walking as possible. Amputees
can move on flat terrain at different gait speeds with confidence.
And thanks to the hydraulic stance control feature, it's easier to
tackle slopes, stairs and other uneven surfaces. The C-Leg® is
designed for use with a variety of foot, pylon and adapter options.
The 3C100 C-Leg® is suitable for a broad spectrum of lower limb
amputees. It can be used by extremely mobile individuals, as well
as those who need additional stance stability. According to the Otto
Bock Classification System¨ the C-Leg® is recommended for lower
limb amputees weighing up to 220 lbs. (100 kg) who have a moderate
or higher (Level 2 or 3) functional level. The lithium-Ion battery
loaded in the knee provides enough energy to operate the C-Leg®
for a full day (25-30 hours). Read personal stories of amputees stepping
up to revolutionary technological advances with the C-Leg. |
