Product Description
The RHEO KNEE 3 provides the most natural knee function among all microprocessor knees because it continuously adapts to the user and the environment while providing perfect balance of stability and dynamics.
•Effortless swing initiation enables a smoother gait, even in crowds and confined spaces
•Advanced actuator and resistance control ensure best possible resistance, e.g. more support in stair descent and minimum effort needed in level ground gait
•Constant power spring provides natural progression in swing
•Five-sensor gait detection, including new gyroscope technology, ensures stability and dynamic response in every situation
•Magnetorheologic technology enables an instant response so that users never have to wait for the knee to catch up with them
