Bilateral Above Knee Amputee Up and Down Stairs

Here is triple amputee Cameron walking up and down the stairs. We program the C-Leg's to allow for easy release when walking up the stairs but provide needed and consistent support when walking down the stairs step over step. Cameron has a very natural style of walking up and down the stairs. This shows what is possible when the knees are setup properly and the socket optimized for maximum control.

dude sweet! those legs are fucking awsome how do they bend?

[randyhanger]

@pwnmaster77 the knees have a hydraulic unit that regulates the bending of the knee that is controlled by a microprocessor adapting 50 times each second. The computer gets readings from the pressure on the heel or toe of the foot and the angle of the knee. it is amazing technology that is unmatched!!

@randyhanger so it would only work on the stairs? it sound amazingly awsome and expensive to lol.

@pwnmaster77 the knees adjust with every step whether you are on flat ground, hills, stairs, ramps, curbs, etc.
