The Power Knee
June 30, 2011
The world’s first motorised prosthetic knee is on show at the Science Museum in London.
The prosthetic knee allows amputees to walk as normally as possible.
The Power Knee moves itself rather than requiring the person to do it themselves.
It is equipped with artificial intelligence so it learns how people walk.
The knee adjusts itself to fit the person’s stride and speed enabling users to walk more naturally with less effort.
The Power Knee is already being used by the German health service and private health insurers elsewhere in Europe, including the UK.
