What is the best prosthetic knee for me?
This article is written by an actual amputee who wears these items. There are quite a few things to consider in selecting a prosthetic knee.
Certainly the most well known knee on the market is the C-Leg from Otto Bock, but it may not be the best for you because if your insurance will not pay for all it's needs of service, you'll find yourself dipping into your pocket uncontrollably. This article will only address the three most popular knees, the C-leg, the Rheo Knee and the Adaptive - or Smart Adaptive as it is known these days.
The first microprocessor-controlled prosthetic knees became available in the early 1990’s. The Intelligent Prosthesis Knee was first commercially available microprocessor controlled prosthetic knee. It was released by Chas. A. Blatchford & Sons, Ltd., of Great Britain, in 1993 and made walking with the prosthesis feel and look more natural. An improved version of the knee was released in 1995 by the name Intelligent Prosthesis Plus (IP+). Blatchford released another knee, the Adaptive Prosthesis, in 1998. T
he Adaptive Prosthetic knee utilized hydraulic controls, pneumatic controls, and a microprocessor to provide the amputee with a gait that was more responsive to changes in walking speed. Blatchford is known by the name Endolite in America - behind the fact most of it's knee frame are strong carbon fiber designs. Endolite took the approach to give the amputee some control of there knee with hand held programmers and modular replacement parts anyone can install.
The Otto Bock Orthopedic Industry introduced the C-Leg during the World Congress on Orthopedics in Nuremberg in 1997. The company began marketing the C-Leg in the United States in 1999. the C-Leg is a complete in house controlled service and setup proposition.
You cannot get parts, the software to program it or any parts yourself from the company - it all has to go through an Otto Bock certified prostheticist who has to send the knee to Otto bock for all service and repair. Other microprocessor controlled knee prostheses include Ossur's Rheo Knee, released in 2005, the Power Knee by Ossur, introduced in 2006, the Plié Knee from Freedom Innovations and DAW Industries’ Self Learning Knee (SLK).
The C-Leg is probably the best developed emulating knee on the market. It has dynamic stance support controlled by the sensor in the lower pylon foot connector, and this makes all the difference in the world. Having the sensor in a sensitive leverage point at the ankle area allows the hydraulics to be switched and controlled by the sensor input more predictably and dynamically fine tuned. This lets the leg "know" better how to support and lock or give dynamically.
Let it be made clear - the C-leg, is the only Microprocessor controlled knee which is ALWAYS in support mode (unless you change to modes by remote or the triple tapping of the toe), and all other knees on the market - with the strange exception of the Rheo Knee - defaults to swing phase, and if it is not setup statically to lock, the slightest shift in weight may cause the knee to completely go out from under you unexpectedly. A properly setup C-leg will NOT do this. It will always provide support.
That being said . . . The other two competing well known microprocessor controlled knees - the Rheo Knee from Ossur and the Adaptive2 - or now known as the "Smart Adaptive" do not use sensors in the ankle and cannot do true dynamic stance support for this reason. The Rheo knee uses software to try to detect when to lock, or stiffen or not. Many wearers of the Rheo Knee say the Rheo Knee behaves unpredictably.
The Adaptive by Endolite, is a dual knee. It uses pneumatics for the swing, and hydraulics for the stance and flexion support functions. The Endolite Knee has its sensor in the knee at the top and to the rear of the hinge area of the knee. The early knees could basically only detect and switch between five modes - standing, walking, stairs, stumble recovery, or ramps and slopes; and it did this by the way the weight pressed on that sensor and how fast.
The Endolite Adaptive does have a "standing mode" - based on weight on the force sensor and will hydraulically lock while standing still - if setup right. While the Endolite was/is a self learning knee, the initial stiffness of the knee was/is set up manually using a Bluetooth communicating programmer box. The Endolite Adaptive Knee however had/has no way to monitor dynamic stance support.
Thus when it locks or unlocks it has to switch modes - or at least try to. It has to guess at which mode to switch to by how sensitive you have set it up to change to based on your walking style. This author owns the first generation Endolite Adaptive 2, which will soon be upgraded to the latest Smart Adaptive by changing the hydraulic cylinder and programming card which is attached to it and a firmware upgrade by Endolite to the programmer box, and has walked on all three.
The price is really reasonable - only a few thousand dollars for basically a new, latest and greatest - Smart Adaptive knee. Still remember it does NOT do "dynamic stance support" however. This is the nice feature of the Endolite Adaptive knee - the cylinder is a completely field replaceable item that can be swapped out by anyone with the removal and replacement of three bolts. The bolts are exposed and accessible and can be done in 30 minutes.
The Endolite unit is a good walking knee, and uses far less electrical power than either the Rheo or C-Leg Knees. It could go up to two weeks without a recharge and the batteries are 3 simple photo CR123A batteries available almost anywhere. You could get a replacement rechargeable set for under $20. BUT - it does not do dynamic stance support. For instance you cannot push in a vehicle clutch and have it respond dynamically to provide resistance support.
Another issue of the Adaptive Knee is that it - like the Rheo Knee must be statically setup properly with body weight to the front of the knee hinge so it locks and presses the weight onto the knee sensor in the various phases of walking and standing. Both the Adaptive and Rheo Knees self program as you walk. The C-Leg is a bit different. It can be setup almost anyway you want - but Otto Bock recommends it most stable about 1.5 inches to the rear of body weight.
However, if the pylon sensor is ever unplugged or goes bad, the knee goes into what is called "native mode" and locks up stiff. It then requires a trip to the Prostheticist to re-program it before it will work again. This can also happen on some units if the battery goes completely dead, but it is supposed to go into "standard mode" and respond and work again on a re-charge. The leg does NO self programming on it's own, but the owners of the newer model C-legs that have bluetooth and the remote can do minor programming changes with the remote. No one but an Otto Bock C-Leg certified prostheticist can get the C-Leg software (and training assistance) to program the leg and/or even get service from Otto Bock - meaning they will not even "talk" to a non-certified prostheticist about services or repairs to the C-Leg. They will not - cannot - give you the software.
If they are an Otto Bock C-leg certified prostheticist, there are certain L-codes they use for billing which - if your insurance carrier does not not accept as a microprocessor controlled knee - will cause rejection of the/your claim each and every time. The C-Leg cannot be serviced by you or your prostheticist in any way. ALL service is done by Otto Bock according to their plans, upgrades and service schedule criteria. You cannot control it. Your prostheticist cannot control it either. Most people today have a 20% co-pay.
That can get costly and add up really fast. The Rheo Knee just has not had good success catching on. It uses magnetic fluid - called magneto-rheostatic fluid. The magneto-rheostatic fluid is liquid until a magnetic field is present, it turns solid immediately after being placed in a magnetic field. The Rheo Knee has tried to use this for stance support and stance flexion using varying magnetic fields for hydraulic support. Some vehicles are now using this technology in shock absorbers. The drawback is obvious. If there is no power - there are no magneto-rheostatic properties, and thus the leg goes more towards free swinging. Also not so obvious - is that of the three knees, the Rheo Knee is the most power hungry, and the Endolite Adaptive is the least power hungry.
The Rheo Knee is a radial design similar to the Otto Bock 3R80. So which one is best? Well that depends on your insurance. If you have Medicare or VA benefits, the C-Leg is usually fully covered, and you are best then with the C-Leg. The C-Leg has proven its ability such that it is the only leg to allow a US Air Force pilot to return to flight duty after a motorcycle accident caused him to loose his left leg. If you want a knee that will do dynamic stance and flexion support, but cannot afford the C-Leg lock-in to Otto Bock charges and mandates, you can try the Rheo Knee - but be advised, the software and mode switching of the knee will take quite a bit of getting used to, and you will have to keep it fully charged at all times. If the battery goes dead - you will have NO support at all - and if it is not setup up properly with the body weight to the front of the knee hinge, it will fold on you easily unexpectedly.
Remember - or be advised - the Radial Design has NO ability to mechanically lock at all. The Adaptive Knee on the other hand set up properly will lock - but you will have no stance support - in fact no support at all if the hydraulics blow and leak dry - BUT you can still walk on it - slowly and carefully. It is a variation on a SNS design like the "Ultimate Knee" by Ortho.
The sad reality is the Endolite hydraulics do leak and blow more often than not and you cannot fill the cylinder with oil yourself - but you can swap the unit out yourself for a new one in about 30 minutes. You cannot do any work at all on the C-Leg or the Rheo knee. So, the answer is not an easy one.
The C-Leg is maintained only by Otto Bock and the hydraulics are fairly rugged. When they fix it - they fix it right and upgrade it if required. The Endolite Adaptive is cheaper to buy and easier to get going walking on that many insurances will pay for as comparable to a regular non-microprocessor controlled hydraulic knee because it is self learning and cheaper to buy and set up.
The Rheo Knee has the best of both the C-Leg stance and flexion support and Adaptive Knee's self learning features, but you'll have to get accustomed to manipulating it. If you just want to walk right away at the least expensive, lowest learning curve, then the Endolite Adaptive2 or Smart Adaptive Knee is the one for you. If you need dynamic stance support and the feeling of trust and safe well being from the leg - you need to figure out how to get hold of a C-leg.

You put this on your existing leg usually by using a pyramid adapter (extra charge) loosening only two of the four female pylon screws and then when you put this in - the alignment is the same.
Cost is $3,999.00, which bills typically at up to $9,760.52, to insurance carriers for the knee package for sale here only, so usually the insurance carrier is pleased to pay less for cash and carry to the patient on a reimbursement and sometimes there then is no co-pay to a patient reimbursement type claim. In that case we would need a specific prescription from a doctor to replace the part specifying that the patient will do the swap of the part; before purchase - before an insurance carrier will even consider paying the reimbursement claim.
You also get a free video on how to bench or static alignment set up the knee properly. You CANNOT buy from Swan direct nor their distributors direct, so do not call them to try. No - the new cost of AK walking is not cheap - this is what they cost NEW. HOWEVER, if you do not have suitable socket we may refuse to sell to you, or require to build one suitable first. The video which comes with this does show how to build a socket.
You CANNOT buy this for someone else, pay for it for someone else, nor as a gift and we would need to see your prescription copy, then followed by the sending us the actual original for our files and you would need to upload a pic of you current leg after payment and specify an insurance carrier and your policy number you want to seek reimbursement from - AFTER the sale.
We have the right to require a pic of the leg after install of the knee also, before continuing to process the reimbursement claim; as the warranty and insurance carrier duty to reimburse you is tied to proper setup of the knee on the socket. We do not guarantee reimbursement but only tell you we can usually accomplish submitting it as a provider.
Some HMO's however are staunch lock-outs to out of network providers. Attention: This sale may involve a discount or reduction in price. We are required to properly disclose and reflect this discount in costs claimed or charges made to federal health care programs in accordance with the provisions of 42 U.S.C. §1320 (a) – 7b (b) (3) (a) and/or 42 C.F.R § 1001.952 (h) (1).

Durable Medical Equipment Prosthetic and Orthotics Supply (DMEPOS) parts are not considered "medical devices" unless the entire item is built and assembled to a specific person to do a specific medical task as would be a COMPLETE prosthetic leg custom made for a patient.
We will not do that here, and are not doing that here; however we still will follow law requiring that you provide us a specific prescription, as failure to do so voids the manufacturers warranty, and only we can submit warranty claims - by the policy of the manufacturer. We provide you full seller information after the sale.

The Oscillator Hydraulic Stance-Control Knee from Hosmer. This is the knee for heavier patients up to 300 pound weight. This is closest you can get to a heavy duty Century 2000-2100
- 5-Bar Glide-Flex Polycentric Knee
- Rotary Hydraulic Control System
- Independent Flexion & Extension Adjustment
- Adjustable Stance flexion Stability
- High Strength Aluminum Alloy
- Rated to 300Lbs.
- Unit Weight: 1.92Lbs. (870g)
| Stance Flexion Bumper Adjustment |
|---|
| Color Durometer Amputee Weight Range |
| Black Soft 154 - 198Lbs. (70-90kg) |
| Red Medium 198 - 242Lbs.(90-110kg) |
| Yellow Hard 242 - 300Lbs. (110-136kg) |
The knee will flex 135 degrees and hyper extend several degrees depending on the position of the stability bumper. In stance phase the maximum flexion is 5.5 degrees, but will likely be less depending on the bumper adjusted stiffness.
The knee weighs 870 grams (30.69oz.)
The major structural components of the knee are zinc-aluminum alloy that is steel ball burnished. Steel ball burnishing improves the appearance and increases fatigue strength by eliminating surface microcracks that result from machining. The aluminum alloy used is a high strength alloy used in aircraft manufacturing. The shafts are hardened 416 stainless steel and they ride in bronze bushings. Bronze bushings were chosen over needle bearings for their increased alignment precision, especially important in a five-bar knee. That is how this knee is reted at 300lbs.
The hydraulic unit in the Oscillator is a rotary style system located in the proximal section of the knee. It is adjusted through the shaft of the proximal anterior pivot. Both flexion and extension are independently adjustable from very little resistance to almost completely locked. Flexion is on the right side facing the knee, and the extension resistance is on the left.
The extension assist is adjustable by turning the screw located on the distal end of the green tube.
The distance from the base of your proximal adaptor to the anterior proximal axis is 0.75 in (19.5 mm) and to the end of the extension assist is 8.63 in.(218.95mm) Dome of proximal adapter to proximal pylon is 4.875 in (123.82 mm)
The bumpers can be replaced in the field. If the knee develops excessive play, check the bumpers first. The stance flexion bumpers can be adjusted or replaced with different durometer parts. The terminal impact bumper can also be adjusted. The other two bumpers can be replaced. If adjusting or replacing bumpers does not solve the problem, the unit must be returned to Hosmer for repair. The hydraulic unit is filled in a vacuum and cannot be serviced in the field.
1 year from the time of receipt of customer. We may be able to get you a loaner if the knee has been intalled per our guidance or a prosthtists certifies the installation.
The bushings are oil-filled bronze that are pressed into the machined aluminum components then reamed in place. Reaming the bushings in place allows for tighter control over shaft clearances and alignment than pressing needle or ball bearings into the structural components.
We can get you new feet too
For instance an Endolite Esprit foot is low profile, about 3.5 inches tall, and is about $1,200 added to the knee price ONLY at the time of purchase. All foot sizes and styles Endolite lists are available - also brand new under warranty.
You put this on your existing leg usually by using a pyramid adapter (extra charge) loosening only two of the four female pylon screws and then when you put this in - the alignment is the same.
BRAND NEW with two (2) year warranty that often we can bill to insurance carriers or assist you in getting a successful reimbursement claim done for that will fit your frame.
Cost is $3,799.00, which bills typically at up to $9,760.52, to insurance carriers for the knee package for sale here only, so usually the insurance carrier is pleased to pay less for cash and carry to the patient on a reimbursement and sometimes there then is no co-pay to a patient reimbursement type claim. In that case we would need a specific prescription from a doctor to replace the part specifying that the patient will do the swap of the part; before purchase - before an insurance carrier will even consider paying the reimbursement claim.
You also get a free video on how to bench or static alignment set up the knee properly. You CANNOT buy from Ossur direct nor their sole distributor direct, so do not call them to try. No - the new cost of AK walking is not cheap - this is what they cost NEW. HOWEVER, if you do not have suitable socket we may refuse to sell to you, or require to build one suitable first. The video which comes with this does show how to build a socket.
You CANNOT buy this for someone else, pay for it for someone else, nor as a gift and we would need to see your prescription copy, then followed by the sending us the actual original for our files and you would need to upload a pic of you current leg after payment and specify an insurance carrier and your policy number you want to seek reimbursement from - AFTER the sale.
We have the right to require a pic of the leg after install of the knee also, before continuing to process the reimbursement claim; as the warranty and insurance carrier duty to reimburse you is tied to proper setup of the knee on the socket. We do not guarantee reimbursement but only tell you we can usually accomplish submitting it as a provider.

Durable Medical Equipment Prosthetic and Orthotics Supply (DMEPOS) parts are not considered "medical devices" unless the entire item is built and assembled to a specific person to do a specific medical task as would be a COMPLETE prosthetic leg custom made for a patient.
We will not do that here, and are not doing that here; however we still will follow law requiring that you provide us a specific prescription, as failure to do so voids the manufacturers warranty, and only we can submit warranty claims - by the policy of the manufacturer. We provide you full seller information after the sale.
DO NOT EMAIL US ASKING TO CALL US OR WE CALL YOU. No phone system communications will be done at all. We have a duty to assure the item is properly set up for use so as to not strain the design of the item. For instance an improper bench alignment will put the unit into hyper support mode and consume battery power excessively and can lead to hydraulic cylinder failure.

This is a book, perfect bound - ISBN 1-891950-99-1.
This book does NOT cover Orthopedics. Try this link instead => an Online Ortho store
It has information on how to self-help build and repair yourself a leg prosthetic, including the socket. It includes a $100 coupon good towards purchase of your first item, so in essence the book is saves you $50 more when you buy your first item - or you could say the book is in essence free.
The real value of the book is to license you for consulting, and an ability to make certain patented items for yourself (not for re-sale) by a prostheticist and to provide you some assistance on how to do build a prosthetic and get you able to get parts direct - new. The Prosthetic industry wants to believe there is something special about building a leg prosthetic when there is not.
If you do not know where to start, or you have an amputation coming up you will be subjected to - this book is for you. The Prosthetic industry wants to keep you from buying parts direct, like external prosthetic things and parts they tell you are controlled medical devices, when the truth is - they are NOT controlled medical devices. Internal Prosthetic devices ARE while External Prosthetic devices and parts ARE NOT
This belief came about when and because Insurance carriers required a prescription from a Medical Doctor before they would be able to PAY for a Prosthetic item - and has been grossly twisted and distorted as to the truth and distributors and most prosthetic manufacturers thus will not sell direct - actually simply because they just want to deal with personnel who know the jargon and because manufacturers warranties are tied to proper installation. the FDA which regulates the prosthetic industry, only considers INTERNAL (i.e. surgical devices like hip replacements etc) prosthetic "medical devices" which require approval and thus prescriptions.
There are interesting things you should know about drugs, the insurance industry, Medicare and Medicaid as it relates to prostheses, and why a Prostheticist is really not your friend.

There is no law to prevent you from buying parts for, making or servicing YOUR OWN EXTERNAL prosthetic device. Some states HOWEVER, have consumer laws against performing such a prosthetic building service for others as a business without a certification and license from the state, but there is still no law that prevents the sale of parts. For YOUR OWN service and repair it NOT UNLAWFUL to work on, or build your own device anywhere. In fact Federal law mandates how the external prosthetic devices are regulated, they fall in the same class 21- CFR 890 - as crutches, canes and wheelchairs - available cash and carry anywhere. surgically implanted prosthetic devices are another story requiring a prescription and tracking with a serial number and a different type of record keeping for the doctor and manufacturer.
In the United States, most upper and lower extremity EXTERNAL prosthetic components are regulated as Class I (exempt) medical devices. The Federal Food and Drug Administration in the US (FDA), classifies medical devices as Class I, II or III. While most Class I devices are subject to the full set of general controls, including that they be "manufactured under a ![[WWW]](http://wikispot.org/wiki/eggheadbeta/img/sycamore-www.png){kind=small}
quality assurance program, be suitable for the intended use, be adequately packaged and properly labeled, and have establishment registration and device listing forms on file with the FDA." prosthetic components and a few other devices are exempt from these general requirements and subject only to record keeping (21CFR820.180) and complaint file (21CFR820.198) requirements, as stated in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Chapter I, Subchapter H, Part 890, Subpart D, Physical Medicine Prosthetic Devices, Sec. 890.3420, External limb prosthetic component, or 21CFR890.3420. This section states that these devices are exempt from premarket approval or 510(k) requirements, except as provided in 21CFR890.9, which allows this exemption as long as the new device has "existing or reasonably foreseeable characteristics of commercially distributed devices within that generic type," it is intended for the same use and the same user type as existing products, and the device operates on the same fundamental scientific technology.
In improving these devices, the obvious question arises: what about the testing of prototypes and their distribution to patients? Because we are dealing with a Class I (exempt) medical device that doesn't require a 510(k) submission, it could reasonably be argued that one need not do anything, because the rules governing Investigational Device Exemptions (IDEs) deal with the steps that must be taken in order to collect the data that must be submitted with the (not required) 510(k) application. For a company as in a manufacturer, these steps require that an Institutional Review Board (IRB) approve a study, that the patients are consented, the devices properly labeled for investigational use, the study is monitored, and that required records and reports are maintained. If these steps are complied with, the manufacturer need not even be a registered manufacturer as required above. It might reasonably be argued that for a device for which there are no requirements other than those outlined above, that a subset of these requirements might reasonably be complied with, e.g.: consent the patients, label the devices, and maintain records and reports on the use of the devices.
This is a site created, edited and maintained by a trans-femoral above knee amputee who has discovered a few things about the leg prosthesis industry. The first you need to know is it is a leech industry. They count on you not knowing that they do not know what you are going through. FIRST and foremost - remember - YOU are the amputee who knows and experiences it daily. With the exception of a handful of prostheticists who are ABOVE KNEE amputees, the rest do not have a clue.
They only know what a text book or another has told them. You need to learn about your knee and leg and how to service it yourself. It is actually no different than working on your own car. If you do not work on your own car - I can tell you WHY you find it in the shop so much!!
They want to keep billing - and so does the leg prosthesis industry. Articles and products are here for you to do-it-yourself. Any help you have to add to the library of ways to assist are gladly accepted.
