The Power Knee is the world’s first motor-powered microprocessor knee. Active assistance powers flexion and extension to mimic concentric and eccentric muscle activity. Advanced sensors accurately detect the user’s movements and inform the microprocessor where state-of-the-art artificial intelligence enables the knee to respond to the user’s needs.

A patient model will be fitted with the POWER KNEE by an Össur Clinical Specialist, and guide the attending clinicians on the fitting, alignment and programming of the knee with Össur Logic.

Initial gait training will be provided to ensure the user gets the most function out of the POWER KNEE.

This is a 1 day course conducted in person on site and at your request at your clinical facility.
