Product Overview
The Össur Rheo Knee XC is a microprocessor-controlled prosthetic knee designed for active above-knee amputees who want a combination of stability, adaptability, and durability. Building on the proven Rheo Knee platform, the XC version is engineered for users who regularly encounter varied terrain, outdoor environments, and more demanding daily activities.
Using advanced magnetorheologic technology, the Rheo Knee XC continuously analyzes movement and adjusts resistance in real time. This allows the knee to respond naturally to changes in walking speed, direction, and terrain while helping maintain smooth transitions between stance and swing phases.
The knee is designed to support a more natural gait pattern and reduce the effort often associated with compensatory movements. Its weather-resistant construction and high-impact durability make it suitable for users who spend time outdoors, navigate uneven ground, or maintain an active lifestyle. Clinicians can customize settings to match individual mobility goals, creating a personalized balance of stability and responsiveness.
