Major knee disarticulation prosthesis

Medi-Rehatek knee disarticulation prosthesis excels in  the control of prosthetic performance and gait effect after rehabilitation exercise, the main features of the prosthesis has the following four aspects:

First, as the residual limb after knee disarticulation will be relatively large, knee prosthesis uses bony suspension (condylar suspension), prosthetic follow-up is good;

Second,as the length of residual limb is long,the assembly of knee disarticulation prosthesis is difficult than general knee prosthesis, so it is necessary to use specific knee joint components with multi-linkage (such as four-linkage) structure;

Third, hip muscles keep more complete with longer lever arm.The residual limb controls movement of the prosthesis that is better than other types of thigh amputation;

Fourth, knee disarticulation prosthesis usually uses stump end bearing load.Compared with the thigh prosthesis, the distal end of the residual limb bearing load is more in line with the body's physiological characteristics than the ischial tuberclebearing load.It can maintain better athletic performance.
