Above Knee Prosthesis

Restoring Mobility,
Restoring Freedom

Walking after an above-knee amputation requires more than just replacing a limb—it demands balance, strength, and confidence. We design prostheses that combine stability and smart engineering to help you move with freedom.

Understanding Above Knee Prosthesis

Engineered for stability, designed for life.

An above knee prosthesis is an artificial limb that replaces the leg above the knee joint. Because it includes an artificial knee, this type of prosthesis must provide both support and flexibility—allowing you to stand securely and walk smoothly.

Our designs focus on energy efficiency, natural gait, and reduced strain, so you can move with less effort and more confidence. Every component is carefully selected to match your unique anatomy and lifestyle.

Why We Use a Trial Prosthesis

Before final delivery, we provide a temporary prosthesis that you use for a few weeks. This ensures your limb has time to adjust, we can test alignment and comfort in real-life conditions, and you have the chance to give feedback before we build your definitive device.
