MICROPROCESSOR-CONTROLLED KNEES
What is a microprocessor-controlled knee?
You may have heard the term "bionic knee", "computerized knee" or "Computer-controlled knee". These terms are synonymous with "microprocessor-controlled knee". This type of prosthetic knee contains more complex knee joints than a mechanical knee. They use a computer that offers safer walking with less effort.
Blatchford's microprocessor-controlled hydraulic knee, the Orion3 offers:
-
- Exceptional stability on slopes, steps and varying terrains
- Featuring a range of stance resistance
- Adapts hydraulic resistance in real time, providing the user with confidence and stability
Blatchford's integrated microprocessor limb system, the Linx:
-
-
- Mimics the complex structure of the human leg by actively sensing and analysing data on the user movement, activity and terrain
- Provides a coordinated stream of instructions to the hydraulic support system
- Detects stumble in real-time, automatically adjusting to allow the user to catch themselves to avoid a fall
- Mimics the complex structure of the human leg by actively sensing and analysing data on the user movement, activity and terrain
