Microprocessor knee prosthesis in Turkey

Microprocessor knees use sensors to adjust resistance at every step. For suitable above-knee amputees they bring more safety and a more natural gait on stairs, slopes and uneven ground.

In short: A microprocessor (bionic) knee continuously measures your movement and controls the knee's resistance in real time. It reduces the risk of falls and makes stairs, ramps and changes in walking speed easier. We fit microprocessor knees, mainly Proteor QUATTRO, in Istanbul after a careful assessment and trial.

Who is a good candidate?

  • Above-knee or knee-disarticulation amputees with moderate to high activity (K3–K4)
  • Users who walk on stairs, slopes and uneven ground in daily life
  • Users who want more safety against stumbling and falls

Benefits

  • Stumble recovery and controlled sitting down
  • Step-over-step stair descent
  • Automatic adaptation to walking speed

Fitting and training

A microprocessor knee only shows its full value with a well-fitting socket and correct settings. We fit the socket in our own workshop, program the knee to your gait and provide gait training. Product details: Proteor QUATTRO.

Frequently asked questions

Is a microprocessor knee suitable for everyone?

No. It is generally recommended for active above-knee users. We assess your activity level, weight and goals before recommending one.

Can I try the knee before deciding?

Where possible we arrange a trial so you can feel the difference before deciding.

How often does the knee need service?

Manufacturers recommend periodic service; we explain the schedule for your specific knee and support you remotely.
