Microprocessor Knees
Rheo 3 by Ossur
- Weatherproof design allows exposure to splashing of water
- Advanced actuator and resistance control ensure best possible resistance, e.g. more support in stair descent and minimum effort needed in level ground gait
- Smart gait detection, including kinematic sensor technology, ensures stability and dynamic response in every situation
- Extension lock mechanism, to lock the knee in full extension and increase safety and comfort under specific circumstances.

Liner Materials
Silicone Liners
Soft but resistant to pressure, silicone is durable and easy to clean and are for individuals with a low to moderate activity level.
TPE Liners
Soft, cushiony and highly elastic, offering good protection for low activity for many types of residual limbs
Urethan Liners
Unique ability to flow away from high pressure. That means the pressure in your socket is well distributed.
Hydraulic Ankles
Hydraulic ankles give control on ramps and stairs. It also has an instant impact on postural symmetry, easing abnormal pressures inside the socket. Hydraulic ankles promote stability and confidence on rough and sloping surfaces, reducing the number of falls.
Hydraulic Ankle Demonstration Video
Notice the foot on the left that has a hydraulic ankle is able to stay on the ground for a longer time over a wider range on motion. This promotes stability and increases safety.
