Above-knee prosthetic care

Above-knee prosthetic care focused on comfort, stability, and supporting everyday movement through proper assessment and fitting.

What is a above-knee prosthesis?

  • A above-knee prosthesis is designed for individuals with limb loss above the knee, supporting standing, walking, and daily mobility when the knee joint is no longer present..

​

  • Because knee function is replaced by the prosthesis, factors such as balance, alignment, and control play an important role in how the prosthesis performs during everyday activities.
