Genium

With the market launch of the Genium leg prosthesis in 2011, Ottobock opened up entirely new horizons for prosthesis wearers: an unprecedented, near-natural gait pattern, climbing stairs step-over-step, overcoming obstacles, moving backwards, relaxed standing – to name just a few examples. For the first time, people with a transfemoral amputation experienced a range of new functions that provided perfect support for their desire to live a more active and independent everyday life. The benefits of treatment with a Genium have been scientifically proven in multiple studies.

Based on human movement as the model, the Genium has been developed even further. The result is a noticeably smoother gait and even better support and safety in everyday situations, for instance on ramps, in confined spaces or when changing walking speeds. Five individually selectable MyModes support special movement patterns at work or during recreation. The leg prosthesis can be configured with the Cockpit app, which is available for Android as well as for Apple (iOS) devices.

For over a decade, the Genium Microprocessor Knee from Ottobock has empowered users all over the world to go with the flow: To stay present in the everyday moments that matter most. To focus on their experiences, rather than their prostheses. And to embrace more opportunities while living active, independent lives.

That’s because the Genium delivers an exceptionally smooth, close-to natural gait pattern. It adapts to everyday activities, such as climbing stairs, stepping backward, and standing relaxed. And it provides the support and safety active users need on ramps, in confined spaces, when changing walking speeds — and beyond.
