[Contact Us](https://primecareprosthetics.com/contact-us) ## What Are Knee Prosthetics? A knee replacement is a prosthetic that replicates the function of a natural knee joint. Some prosthetic kneedesigns contain modern artificial intelligence, pneumatics, and rotational bearings for improved functionality and natural movement. The main benefits of a prosthetic knee joint are improved mobility and stability, reduced pain, improved alignment and balance, easier transfers, increased walking speed, and better fitness. All of which significantly improve the life quality of those with a missing knee. ## Types of Prosthetic Knees - Microprocessor Prosthetic Knees - /prosthetics/prosthetic-knee/power-knee - Microprocessor-controlled prosthetic knees combine sophisticated software, rechargeable batteries, sensors, and either pneumatic or hydraulic systems, which adjust according to changing environments and personal needs. - services-card_overflow services-card_260 card-link - card - b04301e5-d115-8424-9600-f57ea9bf6b28 - b04301e5-d115-8424-9600-f57ea9bf6b32 - Single Axis Knee - A single-axis prosthetic knee is the most basic available and is known for its simplicity and durable build. Moreover, it is lighter than comparable models and can come with either manual locking for stability or constant friction control. - services-card_260 - aab4870b-ec0d-089c-fb5a-a185ef92d62b - aab4870b-ec0d-089c-fb5a-a185ef92d635 - Manual Locking Knees - These knees enhance stability and safety for those who need to strengthen their leg. Additionally, because these knees can be manually unlocked, they’re an excellent choice for active amputees with different walking speeds who regularly traverse uneven terrain. - services-card_260 - b04301e5-d115-8424-9600-f57ea9bf6b1d - b04301e5-d115-8424-9600-f57ea9bf6b27 - "Safety" Knees - Weight-activated stance-control knees bend and lock their joint when a person shifts their weight and puts pressure on the prosthesis. These mechanical knees are prescribed for the elderly, less active people, and recent amputees. - services-card_260 - _6d04b568-21e5-a729-5883-54180b91b233 - _6d04b568-21e5-a729-5883-54180b91b23d - Polycentric Knees - A polycentric knee prosthetic has a mechanism capable of more than one degree of motion, which provides a greater range of motion, enabling a more natural gait for walking, running, and squatting movements. - services-card_260 - efc4f591-35a6-4def-e985-1c4d70fb7fa9 - efc4f591-35a6-4def-e985-1c4d70fb7fb3 - Hydraulic and Pneumatic Prosthetic Knees - These knees use either air (pneumatic knees) or fluid (hydraulic knees) pistons to regulate movement. Their primary advantage is that they can store energy and release it according to varying degrees of knee flexion when walking, making them excellent for active individuals. - services-card_overflow services-card_260 - _70a000f9-e734-8c4f-14aa-5820c8892370 - _70a000f9-e734-8c4f-14aa-5820c889237a - It is essential to discuss your specific needs and lifestyle with your clinician when seeking a prosthetic knee, as there are various kinds, all with unique benefits that are ideal for some but not all.

PrimeCare has a wide range of Ossur prosthetic knees and Ottobock prosthetic knees to choose from. - How much does a prosthetic knee weigh? - The average weight of a prosthetic knee varies depending on the type of device; however, the lightest knee replacements currently available weigh between 0.77 lbs and 1.5 lbs. - Is a knee prosthesis the same as a knee replacement? - A knee replacement is not the same as a prosthetic knee socket. A knee replacement involves the surgical implantation of an artificial knee joint. On the other hand, prosthetic knee sockets are custom-made devices that fit over the end of a residual limb following an amputation to provide an interface between the human limb and the prosthetic device. --- PrimeCare — [https://primecareprosthetics.com/prosthetics/prosthetic-knee](https://primecareprosthetics.com/prosthetics/prosthetic-knee)
