Bionic Technology by Össur
A precise fusion of electronics, mechanics and human physiology is changing the way people walk. Instead of looking down and concentrating on the next step, they are experiencing a new-found freedom to think about something else. Whether the focus is work, family, shopping or sports, Bionic Technology by Össur is taking them a massive step closer to Life Without Limitations.
RHEO KNEE user Dave Leeka tells his story
At the heart of these tremendous advances is artificial intelligence, sophisticated technology which learns rapidly about an individual’s gait. This means there are now prosthetic devices produced by Össur that can actually think for themselves, sensing immediately what is happening around them, then calculating and initiating the best response to changes in speed, direction and ground surface.
Put simply, Bionic Technology by Össur helps produce the closest thing yet to natural, symmetrical gait. Automatically adapting to any situation, these devices relieve much of the stress and strain usually put on other parts of the body as a result of prosthetic use.
Imagine the difference all this can make in an ever-changing environment that includes stairs, slopes and tight corners.
Or better still, experience the difference…
