With the market launch of the Genium leg prosthesis in 2011, Ottobock opened up entirely new horizons for prosthesis wearers: an unprecedented, natural gait pattern, climbing stairs step-over-step, overcoming obstacles, walking backwards, relaxed standing – to name just a few. For the first time, people with a transfemoral amputation experienced a range of new functions that provided perfect support for their desire to live a more active and independent everyday life. Based on human movement as the model, the Genium has been developed even further. The result is a noticeably smoother gait and even better support and safety in everyday situations, for instance on ramps, in confined spaces, or when changing walking speeds. Benefits at a glance smart mobility with a configuration app Free your mind Thanks to the newly updated, unique technology, the Genium enables a gait that’s even more natural. Added support is provided by adjustment possibilities that can make walking on ramps or sitting down easier. An excellent long-term fitting Additional functions can help adapt the prosthesis to your everyday life. The stairs and obstacles function provides useful day-to-day assistance. It lets you take stairs step-over-step or overcome obstacles such as curbs. Weatherproof We responded to users’ requests for improved protection against water and upgraded the Genium to an IP rating of 67. As a result, the leg prosthesis can also be exposed to brief rain showers or come into contact with splashed water.
