Advanced Prosthetic Technology for Active Mobility
The Genium X3 is an advanced microprocessor-controlled prosthetic knee from Ottobock, developed for users seeking sophisticated support, stability, and freedom of movement in everyday life.
The system continuously analyzes movement and forces using integrated sensors and microprocessor electronics. This allows the knee to adjust its behavior in real time as the user changes walking speed, encounters uneven ground, walks on slopes, navigates confined spaces, or performs other activities.
The Genium X3 is particularly suited to active users who require a durable prosthetic knee capable of handling challenging everyday environments. Its IP68 waterproof and corrosion-resistant construction is designed to maintain functionality around fresh water, chlorinated pools, and salt water when used according to manufacturer requirements.
Key Features
- Microprocessor-controlled knee: Continuously processes sensor information to control knee movement.
- Intelligent motion analysis: Uses an inertial measurement unit and force measurements to determine movement in real time.
- Smooth gait support: Designed to provide a more natural and intuitive walking experience.
- Stumble Recovery Plus: Helps provide additional support when a stumble is detected.
- Stair and obstacle capability: Designed to support step-over-step stair climbing and obstacle navigation for appropriately trained users.
- Variable walking speeds: Supports changes in walking speed, including the Walk-to-Run function.
- Intuitive standing: Designed to provide enhanced stability during standing.
- Five MyModes: Allows customized movement patterns for different activities.
- Water-resistant construction: IP68 protection provides waterproof and corrosion-resistant performance.
- Durable carbon frame: Protects internal electronics, hydraulics, and battery.
- Hydraulic control: Independently manages flexion and extension resistance.
- Rechargeable battery: Integrated rechargeable power system.
- Inductive charging: Allows convenient charging through clothing and cosmetic covers.
- Cockpit app compatibility: Users can configure selected functions and monitor information using compatible Android and iOS devices.
Who Is the Genium X3 Designed For?
The Genium X3 is designed for adults with transfemoral amputation or knee disarticulation who meet the applicable clinical and mobility requirements. Ottobock lists the Genium X3 for Mobility Grades 3 and 4.
Bilateral amputees may also benefit from the system, depending on individual assessment and fitting requirements.
A certified prosthetist and appropriate healthcare professionals should determine whether the Genium X3 is suitable for an individual.
