Until recently prostheses could only be matched roughly to the wearer ? if the proportions and measurements seemed to fit, the aid was considered suitable for that person?s future life. Over the last couple of decades design has helped create an entirely new awareness, and modern prostheses are sophisticated high-tech products that facilitate both mobility and a self-determined life. Natural movements are imitated with the help of intelligent technology, movements that get very close to those of the human leg. However, since prostheses will always remain something artificial to their wearer, it is equally important from a holistic point of view to also address the aesthetic needs of people who have lost a limb.
The C-Leg is an innovative, completely microprocessor-controlled leg prosthesis system that helps people who have undergone transfemoral amputation to achieve a new degree of safety and dynamics. The new C-Leg has been upgraded and expanded with many innovative features. It combines both years of experience and the intelligent use of modern technologies with a clear design of elegant appearance. The C-Leg features a wireless remote control that lets users easily switch between different settings, e.g. for walking, bicycling or inline-skating, as well as make individual fine adjustments to the hydraulic system. No matter at what speed and on what ground the user is walking, the C-Leg reacts in real time to the gait circumstances, ensuring not only natural movements but also offering a high amount of mobility and independence with every step. With its aesthetic and clear language of form, the C-Leg contributes to the well being of its wearers ? thus allowing them to bear their disability with greater self-confidence.

Hai,my bro lost leg and he wann play shuttl so let me know the cost of left c-leg in india plz
My dad was hit by an 18 wheeler 1/08/08 and his left arm is fused so he cant bend it. His leg was also amputated above the knee. His femur is only a few inches long. He has been through the c-leg and reno knee and 4 or 5 different sockets and none have worked out. We have been to several prosthesis places and they cant get it right. I was wondering if anyone can help me out. I live in Columbus Georgia and go to Northside High School.
My email is austinpruitt2266@yahoo.com but I dont use it much.
1 leg prothesis price ?
Please I need to buy the C – leg prothesis parts and assemble them from Uganda, send me a CIF quotation !
my right leg was amputated below the knee. because of blood clot-poor cyculation in my left leg.
i been in wheel chair for 3 half years because i felt the prothesis leg i seen upset me.
they were like a stick and i herd it hurts and sweating rubs up on your skin.
so i did not get one. i saw the c -leg and looks so better.
how can i get one. being on disablity.
So let me get this straight. Linda, you gave up 'living' a productive life 3 yrs ago because you did'nt like the way a prosthetic looks?? How old are you? That's 3 yrs you will never get back…get a prosthetic and get back to living before your life is gone! I've been a Left aka for 4 yrs now. I have been using a Otto Bock 3r80 since the accident and will be recieving my new MAS System socket and my c-leg in a week. I am a RN and WILL get back to my profession in the operating room. Linda, please dont let your life slip by like this. Time goes by sooo fast. There willl be a little discomfort and a little getting use to but the benefits of being able to live a life is so worth it. Prosthetist can cover the stick up with skin and make it have the shape of a leg. Please do this for yourself and all that know you….dont give up!!!!!
Dear sir,my left leg was amputated above knee 4 Years back due to an accident i am used Basic Model Ottobock C Leg .I was introduced to ottobock 3R72,3R80 model prostheses leg. What are this models advantage compare to C leg model what is the Price now & the price different in Purchase india
Dear C.S., I'm not a Otto Bock representative but I too am a Left AKA for 4 yrs. from an accident. I thought this little info might help you. The 3R80 is the only knee I've used. It took me a while to figure out that no matter what I do, the 3R80 is not stable enough for me to return to physical activity such as declines, unlevel teraines, and working in the operating room as before. I have attempted it but have fallen a couple of time because it could not keep up with me. I have worked in other department since then but my heart is in that department. a month ago I got to take the c-leg for a test drive. Wow. I couldn't believe the difference! It was the closest to normal I have felt in 4 yrs. I actually felt like I was 'walking ' again. I even went down stairs the normal way. I bent at the knee and picked something up and stood back up effortless. My prosthetist introduced me to the MAS System Socket and I love it. Research it to see if your a candidate for it. In one week i will be coming home with both and am so excited and looking forward to having my life back. If there is any way for you to acquire a c-leg do it asap..
im a right below knee amputee26 yrs old from philippines,and i was being amputate due to bike accident and this happen this yr. 2011… and as of now i was still in recovery situation…the bigger problem is that the c-leg that you where introducing is seem to be expensive, i just want to know how much this cost, and if some one would like to sponsor for this leg,i would be grateful and thankfull because my parents were not financially stable… { arnoldtano@ymail.com }
I have an Otto Bock above the knee C-Leg available. I received it in 2008 when I lost my left leg. It was a God send for me. I have a new Rheo leg. The C-leg ac been sitting in my closet for about a year. It is in great condition with all the components: charger, remote, protective knee cover and carrying bag. I am about to place it on EBay. If you need or know of someone in need, please contact soon. I am asking $9,000 but will certainly negotiate for some one in need.
This leg really gave me my life back as closely as possible. It should not be wasted in my closet.

Hi iam shiva from india
I want to buy c-leg i need prize details plz contact 8095803033
hi i would like to know if you still have it because i need one as soon as possible please feel free to reply titojulio2003@hotmail.com thank you zoo much
Please let me explain my situation;
My wife and I were standing in a grassy area off Georgia hwy 25 watching the sunset when a man lost control of his SUV and ran over us at 70 mph. When he saw us helplessly bleeding he fled the seen. He was later caught and sent to prison.
I lost my leg in the accident, but they've tried to bolt and rod us back together. The doctors thought we wouldn't survive, but by God's miracle we did.
I had no insurance, the lawsuit is still in process, and S.S. I. lost much of my paperwork so my disability claim had to be started over again.
My stump leg is now atrophying or the muscles are deteriorating beyond use. I desperately need a prosthetic leg before my leg becomes useless.
We've never been beggars before, but all we have is $640 for a leg and that's a stretch for us right now. We know your leg is worth far more than that but I'm desperate and grasping at straws. If you could help me it would be appreciated more than you will ever know.
With Sincerest Thanks,
Rick & Patricia Sebastian
Hi there,
I had a motorcycle accident 3 years ago, I had 11 fractures in my left leg and foot. The result some years on has left me unable to move around freely. I really my mobility back. My surgeon says a below the knee amputation would be necessary. I see your legs are all for above the knee. Do you offer an option for below the knee??

kathy, do you really think that you give up living if you use a wheelchair. I find that thought very shallow.
hi stump,
just want to ask you…how safe to buy used c-leg from ebay?
and how about warranty if ottobock know..that c-leg is use by 2nd buyer?
If you buy an Otto Bock there is no warranty unless prescribed by prosthetic makers and I would definetly not use someone elses as the damage you can cause yourself is very high from scrapes and small cuts to literally ripping your skin/flesh and bleeding out without being able to remove the stump from the 2nd hand prosthetic hence why you go to a prosthetic doc to ensure your leg is tailored to you alone.

I have a AKA and would like to try a C-leg knee joint, I had been trying a new leg with a 3r80 knee ( I belive that was the name on it) and I didnt like it at all, it would not keep up with the fast pace I needed to walk or on slopes it throwed me several times, any way I took an gave the whole leg back to the company that made it for me because the socket was ill fitting and they could seem to get that corrected. now I am going to try a C-Leg and id like to know if they are built well and can handle a person that walks fast and on slopes. if anyone might have one now and can give me any information on them id sure appreicate it alot. Thanks, atvfunrider@yahoo.com
