The next generation of microprocessor knee – Genium X4

We are proud to announce the next generation of the Genium family of prosthetic microprocessor knees (MPKs): The Genium X4.

Pressrelease

Building on the proven Optimized Physiological Gait (OPG) technology and rugged durability of its predecessors, the Genium X4 sets a new standard for MPK performance. It offers improvements in user experience across a wide range of challenging professional and everyday situations, including highly active family-life and leisure activities. 

Genium X4: A whole new MPK experience.

  • Empower users with the latest advances in OPG functionality, including optimized slope ascent, advanced stance flexion control, and dynamic backward movement.

  • Free users‘ mind with fluid, tailored functionality that minimizes the mental load of moving with a prosthesis – no matter the activity or environment.

  • Maximize users‘ potential with an extensively customizable, fully waterproof and corrosion resistant MPK that performs in every setting.

  • Offer exceptional support for bilateral users who need maximum stability and control.

Advanced OPG (Optimized Physiological Gait ) 3.0 Features

The new OPG 3.0 features, including Optimized Slope Ascent, Start-to-Walk, Early Stance Phase Support, and Dynamic Backward Movement are designed to deliver an exceptionally smooth, near-natural walking experience — whether users are navigating tight spaces or crowds, stepping off an escalator or out of a lift, stepping back to pull open a heavy door, strolling through waves on the beach, or hiking on uneven terrain. With the new intuitive cycling feature, the knee joint recognizes the start and end of pedal movement, adjusting resistance without the user having to activate a MyMode preset. 

Durability and Customization

The Genium X4 is fully waterproof and corrosion-resistant, boasts a battery life of up to five days, and allows for five MyMode presets that professionals can tailor to the user’s preferred activities. Additionally, the new connectgo.pro app enables O&P professionals to make extensive adjustments during the fitting. The Genium X4 also features a full range of user-changeable, customizable cover solutions that provide protection for the knee joint as well as a more natural look, if desired. In fact, virtually every aspect of this next-gen MPK can be customized to suit each user’s unique needs, goals, and preferences.

Clinical study results

Preliminary results from a clinical study in Germany with the final version of Genium X4* indicate that even compared to the Genium or Genium X3, the Genium X4 was preferred overall by 100% of users.
