Family O&P is an official 3C100 C-Leg® System Practitioner.

The 3C100 C-LEG® represents the first and only microprocessor-controlled hydraulic knee with swing and stance phase control. With the C-LEG®, amputees can finally walk without thinking about how to walk!

3C100 C-Leg® Image This innovative knee joint features on-board sensor technology that reads and adapts to the individual's every move. By using special software and a PC, fine adjustments can be made to tailor the C-LEG® to the amputee. Angles and moments are measured 50 times per second ensuring the dynamic gait is as similar to natural walking as possible. Amputees can move on flat terrain at different gait speeds with confidence. And thanks to the hydraulic stance control feature, it's easier to tackle slopes, stairs and other uneven surfaces..

The C-LEG® is designed for use with a variety of foot, pylon and adapter options. The 3C100 C-LEG® is suitable for a broad spectrum of lower limb amputees. It can be used by extremely mobile individuals, as well as those who need additional stance stability.

According to the Otto Bock Classification System® the C-LEG® is recommended for lower limb amputees weighing up to 220 lbs. (100 kg) who have a moderate or higher (Level 2 or 3) functional level. The lithium-Ion battery loaded in the knee provides enough energy to operate the C-LEG® for a full day (25-30 hours).

Features Include:

  • Force sensors in the pylon detect loading of the foot and ankle.
  • Additional sensors read the precise angle of the knee joint.
  • This data, along with swing speed input, is read 50-times per second by the on-board microprocessor
The result is increased stability, ease of swing, and greater efficiency with every step! There's even a knee-disarticulation version available.
