Fully enjoying life – casually walking down aisles at the store, cycling with friends in the park, or maybe going hiking in the mountains. With the C-Leg, everyday activity is possible once again.
Fully enjoying life – casually walking down aisles at the store, cycling with friends in the park, or maybe going hiking in the mountains. With the C-Leg, everyday activity is possible once again. The world's first microprocessor-controlled knee joint is controlled in real time throughout the entire gait cycle. This means the highest level of dynamic response with unsurpassed safety.
By now, over 35,000 C-Leg wearers all over the world are profiting from the many advantages of proven C-Leg Technology. Their suggestions were the driving force behind the introduction of several new features in 2006. The result: An intelligent leg prosthesis system with Wireless Remote Control and an optimized service and warranty plan.
The new C-Leg is easy to recognize. While the previous C-Leg was gleaming silver and blue, the carbon frame of the new C-Leg is noble anthracite, complemented with silver. The new C-Leg has a harmonious interplay of form, color, and material for a self-confident appearance in every situation.
Of course the new C-Leg also uses the original, proven C-Leg Technology. The intelligent knee joint always recognizes which walking phase the user is in and adjusts accordingly in real time. The knee angle sensor supplies the information required for the dynamic control of the swing phase, depending on the respective step length and frequency.
Walking down stairs, in the dark, in a crowd while shopping, during a leisurely Sunday stroll, or in a rush on the way to work in the morning - the C-Leg system automatically adapts to any situation while you walk. The advantages: The risk of falling is significantly reduced. You no longer need to focus on every step; you save energy and can focus on the important things in life once again. With the C-Leg, you move safely and smoothly – you'll hardly notice the difference compared to normal walking, and neither will anyone else. The physiological gait pattern simultaneously provides relief for your entire body. You can adjust the C-Leg for special activities such as cross-country skiing or cycling with a special mode (2nd mode).
You are active and design conscious. You don't just expect functionality from your C-Leg protective cover, but good looks, too. In that case, you should take a closer look at the C-Leg Protector.
The C-Leg Protector combines design and safety in an unusual way. The transparent cover encases the knee joint and the tube adapter – the shape and color of the C-Leg remains visible. A special coating protects the high-quality prosthesis system against impacts and scratches – even if you like to do more demanding activities in addition to your everyday use. The functionality of your C-Leg is not restricted by the Protector.
Especially convenient: Your orthopaedic technician can quickly adapt the C-Leg Protector for your system. You can put the C-Leg Protector on and take if off whenever you want and can clean it easily during everyday use. It is available in blue, maroon, or dolphin, so you can find a color that meets your style.
If you travel a lot and place great value on independence, then your C-Leg should not be without the 12 volt charger cable. Combined with the battery charger, you can charge the lithium-ion battery when you are on the road using a conventional 12 volt connection such as the car cigarette lighter.
If a foam cover makes connecting the charger cable to your C-Leg difficult, then you can make the battery charging process easier with a charger cable extension and plug bracket. The plug bracket is installed above the prosthesis foot at the end of the tube adapter.
