Dave is alive in the moment

Small details can make a huge difference – especially for bilateral amputees like Dave. Being able to step back when opening the fridge. Starting to walk after waiting in line. Navigating slopes. Now he can do all of that without thinking about it, thanks to the natural support provided by his Genium X4s.

OPG and much more

The Genium family transformed MPK performance with Optimized Physiological Gait technology, including PreFlex shock absorption, adaptive yielding, stance extension, and adaptive swing phase control.

The Genium X4 features leading-edge updates to this revolutionary technology. OPG 3.0 is designed to deliver an exceptionally smooth, close to natural walking experience:

- Optimized slope ascent for gliding effortlessly up inclines

- Start-to-walk feature to help users make that first move with confidence

- Enhanced stance phase support for level walking and slope descent maximizes control throughout each step

- Dynamic backward movement for safely stepping back without the knee yielding, to make a broad selection of daily activities that much easier 

Flexible fitting

From special movement patterns to individual appearance, the Genium X4 can be tailored to each user’s goals, needs and style. 

During the fitting process, O&P professionals can fine-tune a number of parameters with the connectgo.pro app to support each user’s unique gait.

A whole range of optional protectors are also available for the Genium X4, which can be individually designed with spray paint and stickers. The functional cosmesis, available in two colors, is an additional natural looking option.

Hello, bilateral users

Dynamic, durable, and customizable, the Genium X4 is an excellent choice for users who need support from two MPKs. It’s designed to provide next-level support for some of the complex everyday movements that bilateral users often find most challenging — including starting to walk, moving backwards, and pulling heavy objects.

Adjustable MyModes

With the Genium X4, you and your O&P professional can individually adapt your MyModes – and then fine-tune them using the Cockpit app.

Special settings for work, play, fitness and more? Personalized presets for a hike or for sports with the kids? With the Genium X4, you have numerous options to decide how your knee moves, adapts and behaves.

With the market launch of the Genium leg prosthesis in 2011, Ottobock opened up entirely new horizons for prosthesis wearers: an unprecedented, natural gait pattern, climbing stairs step-over-step, overcoming obstacles, walking backwards, relaxed standing – to name just a few. For the first time, people with a transfemoral amputation experienced a range of new functions that provided perfect support for their desire to live a more active and independent everyday life.Based on human movement as the model, the Genium has been developed even further. The result is a noticeably smoother gait and even better support and safety in everyday situations, for instance on ramps, in confined spaces, or when changing walking speeds.
