Product benefits at a glance – get to know the difference

Every person is different. Depending on your work, family life, recreation preferences or sporting ambitions you need a prosthesis that can keep up with your daily needs and unique lifestyle. It is these individual preferences that form the basis for the development of our knee joints. Whilst some microprocessor knees may look similar, it is the unique functions inside Ottobock knee joints that differentiate them from other knees. It is important to understand these functions when selecting the best knee joint for yourself. Take a look beyond promotional marketing material, explore some of these functions below and understand how they make everyday life easier.
