Microprocessor Knee Prosthetics
Advanced Prosthetic Knee Technology for Stability, Safety & Confidence
Intelligent Prosthetic Knee Technology
Microprocessor knees are among the most advanced technologies available in modern prosthetics. These systems use sensors and onboard computers to monitor movement and automatically adjust the knee joint in real time, helping create a smoother, safer, and more natural walking experience.
At Progressive O&P, we evaluate each patient individually to determine whether a microprocessor knee prosthesis is the right solution for their mobility goals and lifestyle.
How Microprocessor Knees Work
Microprocessor knee systems constantly analyze your movement while walking. Sensors detect changes in speed, terrain, and body position, allowing the knee to automatically adjust resistance and provide greater stability during everyday activities.
This intelligent technology helps improve safety and confidence compared to traditional mechanical knee systems.
Benefits of Microprocessor Knee Technology
- Improved stability & balance while walking
- Reduced risk of falls & stumbles
- Smoother & more natural gait
- Better control on slopes & uneven terrain
- Easier transition between sitting & standing
- Greater confidence during everyday activities
