Above knee prosthesisTrans-femoral / Above knee Prosthesis.
Above-knee prostheses are used to treat individuals who have experienced above-knee limb loss due to disease, trauma, or congenital limb deficiencies. The leading cause for above-knee amputations is peripheral vascular disease.
A transfemoral prosthesis is an artificial limb that replaces a leg missing above the knee. Transfemoral amputees can have a very difficult time regaining normal movement. In general, a transfemoral amputee must use approximately 80% more energy to walk than a person with two whole legs.
This is due to the complexities in movement associated with the knee. In newer and more improved designs, hydraulics, carbon fiber, mechanical linkages, motors, computer microprocessors, and innovative combinations of these technologies are employed to give more control to the user.
At advanced we use state of the art technology like HiFi Socket design, Suction Suspension, Symbionic Legs, Microprocessor knees etc. along with 360 degree gait training program to meet the needs of the transfemoral amputee.
