Features at a glance.

Trusted Performance Across the Board.

Each Ottobock microprocessor knee is uniquely suited for different mobility levels and personal preferences. But they all share some key, non-negotiable features, supported by a legacy of expertise over 25 years in the making.

Fine-Tune for Safer, More-Natural Walking.

Ottobck MPK users can always count on super stance - and swing-phase control, tailored to their needs. The next-gen Genium X4 features our latest Optimized Physiological Gait (OPG) 3.0 technology, upgraded for an incredibly smooth, natural gait — on inclines, when transitioning from walking to running, and beyond. Our signature C-Leg provides real-time reliability, including on uneven surfaces. and featuring three activity modes (locked, semi-locked, and yielding), the Kenevo instills confidence in low to moderate mobility users.

Stumble Recovery Plus becomes standard.

Every Ottobock microprocessor knee is equipped with our proprietary Stumble Recovery Plus technology. Active throughout the entire swing phase, including flexion and extension, this feature is clinically proven to reduce falls.

With Stumble Recovery Plus, the knee joint "recognizes" potential stumbles in real time and provides safe loading for the user via increased flexion resistance. The result? Greater safety and security in every step.

So Many Options for Safe Standing.

All Ottobock MPKs support Intuitive Stance — a proprietary feature that stops the knee from buckling so that users experience greater comfort and less strain on the contralateral side while standing. Intuitive Stance is easily activated by holding the knee in a slightly flexed position for a moment, then deactivated by extending the joint or taking a sound-side step.

Deliberate Stance is a similar feature available in C-Leg and Genium X4. It takes slightly longer to activate and is also a great option for bilateral users. With Genium X4, you can even choose various setting options between Intuitive and Deliberate Stance.

Last but not least, manual locking options ensure safe, stable standing for Kenevo or C-Leg users.

Robust IP Ratings & Corrosion Resistance.

Every Ottobock microprocessor knee offers some level of ingress protection (IP rating) from the elements of daily life. The Kenevo is rated IP22, meaning it's protected from small drips of fresh water. The C-Leg is rated IP68, so it can easily handle occasional exposure to fresh water, such as light rain shower a user might encounter while taking a walk. And the Genium X4 is fully waterproof (IP68), water-jet-proof (IP66), and corrosion-resistant. So users can feel free to enjoy activities in fresh, salt, or chlorinated water.

Built for bilateral success.

Featuring intelligent sensors, sophisticated firmware, and a two-valve hydraulic system, Ottobock MPKs provide unparalleled support for bilateral amputees. Together, these elements enable real-time resistance adjustment based on users' speed, terrain, and other factors. The results? Smoother, more natural movement, improved stability, and reduced risk of falling. Plus, you can easily customize speed, sensitivity, and other parameters to best meet the needs of your bilateral users.

Celebrate every user's individuality.

Thanks to customizable cover solutions, MyModes, and activity modes, every user's Ottobock MPK becomes truly and uniquely theirs. From the Kenevo's rehab-friendly activity modes to adjustable MyModes for C-Leg and Genium X4, users get the support they need for the activities that matter most. Plus, we offer a range of cover, protector, and functional cosmesis solutions that let users' personality shine through — including shield inserts for C-Leg and covers for Genium X4 that can be customized with stickers, spay paint, and more.
