Power Knee® Prosthetics
What is the Össur Power Knee®?
At Syracuse Prosthetic & Orthotic Center (SPOC), we are dedicated to helping our patients live more active, independent lives. One of the most innovative solutions we provide is the Össur Power Knee®—the world’s first and only motor-powered prosthetic knee.
Unlike traditional microprocessor-controlled prosthetic knees, the Power Knee® goes beyond passive support. It actively powers movement for both sitting and standing, assists with climbing stairs, and adapts its motion to the user’s natural walking style.
Key Benefits of the Power Knee®
The Power Knee® was designed to restore symmetry and ease of movement, while reducing the physical strain that often comes with prosthetic use. Its intelligent sensor system continuously learns from each step, responding in real time to the user’s needs.
Benefits include:
Powered assistance for walking, standing, and stair climbing
Reduced fatigue and greater endurance for long days on your feet
Improved balance and gait symmetry
Lower strain on the sound leg, hips, and back
Adaptability across different terrains (stairs, inclines, and uneven ground)
A Patient’s Perspective: Life with the Power Knee®
For many patients, the biggest difference is energy and freedom. Because the Power Knee® provides powered assistance, users can stay active longer without worrying about exhaustion.
Tony, a SPOC patient, shared his experience:
“Makes a huge difference in my fatigue, I am able to be up and about for a good 12 hours out of the day.” – Tony, SPOC Patient
His story highlights how advanced prosthetic technology doesn’t just restore mobility—it restores independence and quality of life.
