FAQ

FAQ C-Leg 4

What benefits of the C-Leg have been proven in clinical trials?

Numerous studies have investigated the advantages of C-Leg technology for people with a transfemoral amputation. These studies have shown that the frequency of falls is much lower with the C-Leg compared to conventional prostheses, proving a high level of safety.

In addition, studies show that C-Leg users don’t have to concentrate on their prosthesis at all times, but rather can move more freely in everyday situations. C-Leg users have more confidence in their prosthesis, and are also able to boost their activity levels, vary their walking speed and expend less energy while walking.
