To do our part to help slow the spread of the novel coronavirus, we have increased regular sanitation practices in our clinics and staff are wearing enhanced PPE, including masks, per CDC guidelines. Please note the increased precautions now underway at all our Mid-Florida Clinics.
C-leg is a mobility game-changer for people with above-knee amputations offering high-tech sensors that constantly evaluate and make precise adjustments at every moment of every step.
Integrated Bluetooth® technology permits straightforward communication with the joint. An existing connection is displayed with an LED. Bluetooth® can be deactivated if necessary.
Lithium-ion battery
A lithium-ion battery provides energy for controlling the knee joint. It is located right in the rotation axis of the C-Leg. If you use the C-Leg on a daily basis, we recommend that you always charge the battery overnight.
Knee angle sensor
The knee angle sensor provides important data: It measures the flexion angle and angular velocity of the joint.
Electronic control unit
The integrated microprocessor receives and processes sensor signals. It controls the movement of the knee joint in real time.
Inertial motion unit (IMU)
The gyroscope and acceleration sensors allow the position and acceleration of the C-Leg in space to be measured. Prosthetic Control is based on motion analysis and additional force determination.
Hydraulic unit
The hydraulic unit controls the C-Leg. It generates movement resistance for flexion and extension during the stance and swing phase.
New carbon frame design
In order to withstand the varied demands of everyday life, the frame is made of carbon – an especially strong, high-grade and lightweight material. The frame houses and protects the electronics, the hydraulic unit and the battery. Thanks to its new design, the C-Leg has a lower system height and therefore a larger fitting spectrum.

"They got me out of my old fashioned horse and buggy artificial leg and into a really modern jet air plane prosthetic!"
Jim
“I'm doing everything I did before my amputation. When I am wearing long pants, nobody even knows I'm an amputee!”
Bill
"Being active with my family and doing all the things my kids expect a super hero Dad to be able to do was the most important thing to me."
Dan
"Thanks to the excellent care I received from my team at Mid-Florida Prosthetics, you can still find me golfing almost every day, even though I lost both my legs!"
