Kenevo
Feeling secure is easy with the Kenevo microprocessor knee from Ottobock. Designed specifically to support moderate and changing mobility levels, it provides proven stability to help users move forward and live their lives more freely.
Feeling secure is easy with the Kenevo microprocessor knee from Ottobock. Designed specifically to support moderate and changing mobility levels, it provides proven stability to help users move forward and live their lives more freely.
It all starts with the key reliability features these users need most. With Stumble Recovery Plus, the risk of falling is significantly reduced. Users can transition safely from standing to sitting and back, use a cane, walker, or wheelchair as needed — and so much more.
Three built-in, progressive activity modes enable the Kenevo to “grow” with users as they develop their skills during physical therapy or while undergoing rehabilitation after an amputation. So whether they’re working to reclaim their independence after surgery or simply building confidence for everyday activities, the Kenevo has them covered.

The Kenevo automatically detects when users start to sit or stand, mirroring their speed to keep them stable and in control during the transition. With no manual adjustments needed, their hands are free to use a chair or walking aid for support as desired.
The Kenevo provides uncompromising safety to support users in a standing position. In activity modes A and B, the joint automatically locks in the stance phase. And in mode C, the intuitive stance function keeps users stable even if the knee is flexed.
The Kenevo is fine-tuned to support users with walkers, canes, or other assistive devices. Plus, with one hand movement, the wheelchair function locks the knee in a slightly outstretched position to keep the leg off the ground so users can maneuver safely.
A wide variety of safety features help ensure Kenevo users can walk safely — including on uneven terrain, down stairs and ramps, or even stepping backward. For example, Stumble Recovery Plus gives users time and support to avoid a fall if they stumble.
As the knee bends, resistance increases to support and control the user’s descent. This improves stability and supports mobility, both indoors and outside.
Intuitive indoor bicycle function
Kenevo users can exercise without compromising safety or comfort. The joint automatically switches functions to support stationary indoor cycling as the user sits and starts pedalling — and back again as they get off the bike when finished.
With the manual locking function, the Kenevo can be conveniently secured in the extended position by a simple tapping pattern, even when using a cover. This offers users with low mobility additional stability in situations where increased safety is needed.
The new training feedback function means physiotherapists can gain valuable insights into their patients movement execution, enabling tailored tips and guidance during therapy sessions. Through the Kenevo ABC app and Cockpit connect app, acoustic signals can be selected for some, or all of each patients selected movement patterns. The Kenevo will then make a sound to notify that a patient has performed the movement correctly.
With the Cockpit app, users can fine tune settings individually, check their battery life, activate the intuitive stationary indoor bicycle function, and more — all via their iOS or Android smartphone.
Putting on the Kenevo is easier than ever thanks to complete flexion of the knee joint. Plus, it can now be charged without removing the foam cover. Just a couple of ways Kenevo users get more time — and less stress — back in their day.
Kenevo is now available for users with a body weight of up to 150 kg. This expands the application possibilities and enables even more people to benefit from the proven stability and innovative technology of our MPK!
Robert feels confident with his Kenevo
Robert enjoys the simple but important things in his life. Being able to plan his day, make breakfast or enjoy the afternoon in the garden. His Kenevo gives him support with adjusting to new situations and mastering everyday challenges.
Günter loves his hobby
Günter has loved classic cars since he was young. After his amputation, he knew he didn't want to give it up. With his Kenevo, he feels stable and secure, enabling him to enjoy everyday life and follow his passions.
Detlef found his new normal
Detlef loves taking regular walks and watching his grandson play football. He was concerned that he might have trouble recovering after his amputation, but with the Kenevo microprocessor knee, he feels safe and secure with every step.
The Kenevo kept Michael moving
Michael used the Kenevo to make the most of his therapy and rehabilitation. It took some time for him to trust the knee joint, but he worked with his physiotherapist and learned to navigate stairs, uneven surfaces, and more before switching to a Genium X3.
Markus uses Kenevo to help his patients
Physiotherapist Markus says, “The Kenevo is ideal for rehabilitation because I can let the knee joint grow with each patient. Thanks to its three activity modes, it supports my patients and their needs on a completely individual basis.”
The Kenevo gives Christian’s patients confidence
As a prosthetist, Christian trusts Kenevo to help his patients recover. “Safety is the most important thing for the patient directly after amputation. The patient has to be confident that they can rely on the prosthesis.”
Bob built everyday confidence
Whether he’s indulging in his passion for cars, mowing the lawn, or just planning out his day, Bob wants to know his knee will keep him safe and stable at all times. The Kenevo provides the reliable safety Bob needs to stay as independent as possible.
Mode A: Locked Mode
The joint is locked and does not initiate a swing phase. Mode A provides a high level of safety and doesn’t allow unexpected movements.
Best for: Users who have little control over their residual limb, primarily walk only short distances indoors, and spend most of their time sitting.
Mode B: Semi Locked Mode without stance phase flexion
The joint is locked during the entire stance phase but unlocks when the user starts the swing movement of their leg for the swing phase. Regardless of gait pattern or additional walking aids, the Kenevo always initiates the swing phase at the right time.
Best for: Users who have moderate control of their residual limb, cover short distances, and walk slowly.
Mode B+: Semi Locked Mode with stance phase flexion
Same as mode B, but with the addition of stance phase flexion at heel strike of up to 10° for walking on moderate slopes. As soon as the user’s heel hits the ground, the knee bends slightly, resulting in a movement that looks and feels more natural.
Best for: Users who have built enough confidence in their prosthesis to walk with stance phase flexion.
Mode C: Yielding Mode
The stance phase is not locked but has a high resistance. This enables the swing phase to be initiated earlier for more dynamic movements — and supports more natural walking with the same high level of safety on level ground, slopes, and stairs.
Best for: Users who have moderate control of their residual limb, can navigate various everyday mobility scenarios, and are comfortable covering short-to-medium walking distances outdoors.
