Laura goes her own way

Thanks to its exceptionally smooth real-time transitions, the Genium X4 gives Laura the freedom to go anywhere she wants, however she wants to get there.

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. Navigatin slopes. Now he can do all of that without thinking about it, thanks to the natural support provided by his Genium X4s.

Caleb finds his flow

The fully waterproof and corrosion-resistant Genium X4 is a perfect match for ocean lovers like Caleb. With his MyModes at his fingertips, Caleb can easily dive into his favorite activities, including surfing, swimming, and playing with his son on the beach.

Functionality

The step into a completely new MPK experience.

Technology you can trust

The Genium X4 brings together all the best features of our Genium MPK family:

- Optimised Physiological Gait: Proven technology that delivers an exceptionally smooth walking experience

- Rugged durability: Waterproof (IP68) and corrosion-resistant

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:

- Optimised 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 maximises 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 

So customisable

From the way it moves to the way it looks, the Genium X4 can be tailored to the goals, needs, and style of every single user. 

During the fitting process, prosthetists can use the connectgo.pro app to fine-tune a range of parameters to fit each user’s unique gait.

The Genium X4 also comes with a full range of cover options, from robust protective shields that can be customised with spray paint, stickers, and more to natural-looking cosmetic covers for your whole leg.

Hello, bilateral users

Dynamic, durable, and customisable, 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 there are many ways you and your prothetist can personalise your MyModes - and you can finetune them further using the Cockpit app.

Special settings for work, play, fitness, and more? Personalised presets for going on a hike or playing sports with the kids? The Genium X4 gives you numerous ways to decide how the knee moves, adapts, and behaves.
