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.

Kevin,
2 years ago I had my leg amputated AK. I have a 5″ bone from my hip, and 10″ stump. If not for the C-leg, I would not be able to do the many things I love to do. I Hike, Bike, Kayak, Volleyball, Play Horseshoes, Cut and split wood. I am now srating to Ice Skate again and hopefully soon play Hockey again. The leg is amazing and has helped me live a normal life, or what I call a normal life?
I have worn the C-Leg for about 6 or 7 yrs. It is far better than my old prosthesis. I am also an above knee amputee. It’s well worth the cost.
WHERE AND HOW I CAN GET C LEG IN INDIA OR NEARBY COUNTRIES /I AM 18 YEARS OLD RIGHT ABOVE KNEE AMPUTEE

I’ve just purchased a new c-leg, which has replaced a previous c-leg that required some repair.
If interested, contact me, as I believe my c-leg may be available as I don’t need 2.

I weigh 260 lbs. As an AK amputee, what id the weight limit for the c-leg?
The only problem with the c-leg is the price. Very few people can pay for a c-leg.
I’m about to amputate above the knee. Too bad I won’t be able to get a c-leg… from what I’ve seen, it’s awesome.
Can anyone tell me if with a c-leg you can climb stairs like a normal person? For someone above the knee.

Many thanks for a quick response.

and also i am here in the philippines with average income..can you pls. help me?
The C-Leg is an awesome piece of technology. I’ve been using one since 2007 and will be receiving the new one when they get them at Walter Reed. I was injured in 2006 in Iraq and am currently at Walter Reed. I’ve tried every Above Knee leg on the market and none can compare to the C Leg. Walking downhill, down stairs, rough terrain or just my daily run of the mill mall or out doors stuff the leg has no problems keeping up with me.
i am a new amputee and was watching c-leg videos on youtube. looking for a donation from a prothesis company. that would give me my quality of life back. aka thank you
please help me get a c-leg so, i can continue to live life @ the fullest.thank you
I have been an amputee for over 5 years, and I have been working with the same company (different locations) to try and use the c-leg, but no one can make me a prosthesis to walk-in. I have been trying to use the same one (with adjustments) for 5 years and have never walked in it. I was recentely told that I needed a new prosthesis. I had to pay $8,000 up front in order to get one (from the same company I have been working with for 5 years), and since I don’t have $8,000, I can’t have a prosthesis. I would like to tell you that the C-leg is wonderful, but it has not worked one minute for me. The company can’t provide anyone who has experience with my level of amputation, and my insurance company won’t let me go anywhere else. Sure wish I had been in the military…….wouldn’t have this problem then!!!
Hey!
Lost my leg to RPG. Whats new aBOUT THE NEW C-LEG?
Thanks,
jon m USMc ret
im like sabrina i have been trying with the same leg for almost 2 years and still have not got to walking. left leg aka ang right leg reconstructed bad right knee wish i could get one of thouse c-legs i get ssd and they say i make to much to qualify for insurace i lost my leg 1/28/08 and have had no insurance since what a wounderfull world we live in .
its been a year for my a k and i love its i can do stairs and walk down big hills and trails unlike i could before its amazing very good price for the unit hanger fixed me up with mine in florence ala they are great at ajusting mine im greatful i got mine would suggest any one that wants to get around get one
I was lucky enought to get a first generation C-Leg almost 11 years ago to the date, was one of 50 or so to get one early on. There is such an improvement in gait, there is little ‘learning curve’. Up stairs is not it’s strong point, but downstairs is foot over foot like no other knee. Very fast and responsive.
Uneven terrain and ramps is also incredibly easy with the C-Leg
I am in my second one. Supposedly has better processors, servos, overall construction. Its horrible that I had to fight with my insurance carrier, at the time, to get it, and i feel for the people that want one and cant afford one. I really do.
There is a weight limit..and if recall it was 240-250.
Ask me anything, i may be able to help.
I do have the older one, but is in need of wear item work..and waiting to hear back from otto bock if they can fix it. It’s not that its broken, its just in need of maintenance/teardown.
5 years ago both of my legs were amputated at the level of the hip. Do you think it would be useful to buy C-leg for both of my legs?
Would you recommend me a hospital or a center where I may get a competent advise and help in obtaining this leg?
Would you, please, tell me which may be the approximate price of one leg?
Thank you in advance and Happy New Year!
