Össur Rheo Prosthetic Knee

Product Overview

The Össur Rheo Knee is a microprocessor-controlled prosthetic knee designed to deliver smooth, adaptive, and stable walking support for above-knee prosthetic users. It is known for using magnetorheological technology, which adjusts resistance quickly by changing the behavior of fluid inside the knee.

This technology helps the knee respond to different walking speeds, terrain changes, and user movement patterns. The Rheo Knee XC version is described as weatherproof and high-impact, making it suitable for more demanding users who want greater confidence in active daily environments.
