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.
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.

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.
