What is an MCK electronic knee?

The MCK electronic knee is a microprocessor-controlled knee prosthesis designed specifically for adults and adolescents with an upper leg amputation. Unlike traditional knee replacements, the MCK offers advanced motion control, giving the user a natural and fluid walking experience. The microprocessor in the knee analyses real-time data on the user's movements and automatically adjusts to provide optimal stability and support.

The benefits of the MCK electronic knee

• Improved stability and safety: Thanks to its advanced technology, the MCK offers excellent stability, even on uneven terrain or when climbing stairs. This reduces the risk of falls and makes everyday life much safer.
• More natural walking: The MCK knee is designed to mimic the natural movement of a real knee as closely as possible. This allows prosthesis users to maintain a more natural walking rhythm, which can make a big difference both physically and mentally.
• Adaptability: The microprocessor automatically adjusts to your speed and also to the terrain, allowing you to change pace and move easily on different surfaces without any problems.
• Longer wear time: With the MCK's energy-efficient technology and adapted movement mechanism, you can stay active longer as an upper-leg user without experiencing unnecessary fatigue.
