Stable, healthy standing
It makes all the difference
Commonplace for others, quality of life for you
Are situations that require extended standing challenging for you? With the Intuitive Stance offered by our microprocessor-controlled knee joints, you no longer need to be nervous about or avoid prolonged standing. Our joints understand your movements and know whether you are standing and relaxing or wanting to initiate your next step. The Intuitive Stance Function adapts to your current situation and movements, allowing you to move freely without having to think twice. It also enables you to distribute weight evenly between both legs, helping to prevent damaging compensatory movements, no matter whether you are standing on an even surface or an incline.
Relaxed standing, without having to think about it
Are you often standing at work or during your free-time? Intuitive Stance is able to support you in every situation, without you having to think about it. Ask your Prosthetist today for a trial of one of our microprocessor knees and experience the benefits of Intuitive Stance yourself.
Comfortable standing – including on uneven ground
Whether having a barbeque outside with friends or playing with your children in the garden, the Intuitive Stance offered by our MPKs means you no longer have to avoid activities requiring extended standing. The function is able to support you on uneven ground and inclines, providing you with complete security throughout the day.
A relaxed chat – no matter where
We believe your prosthesis should never get in the way of your social life. With Intuitive Stance, you no longer need to worry about standing on a night out or chatting with a friend for any extended amount of time. Standing with a prosthetic knee joint is now more stable and secure than ever – even at the most unexpected of moments.
