The Genium X4 Microprocessor Knee
The Genium X4, Ottobock's latest innovation, represents a new frontier in prosthetic microprocessor knees (MPK).
Introducing the Genium X4 Microprocessor Knee: A New Standard in Mobility
The Genium X4, Ottobock's latest innovation, represents a new frontier in prosthetic microprocessor knees (MPK). Building upon its predecessors' renowned technology and durability, the Genium X4 pushes the boundaries of what's possible for individuals with limb loss. Designed to meet the needs of both unilateral and bilateral amputees, it delivers unmatched functionality, enhanced mobility, and an advanced digital ecosystem that sets it apart in the world of prosthetics.
A Revolutionary Advancement in Mobility
The Genium X4 stands as more than just a continuation of Ottobock's high-performing prosthetic knees. It represents a revolutionary step forward, offering users an experience that redefines mobility. From advanced support for backward movement to its adaptability to steep inclines, the Genium X4 is designed to handle the complexities of everyday life. The knee provides the flexibility needed for those with active lifestyles, whether walking, running, biking, or navigating stairs and obstacles.
Optimized for Slope Ascent and Natural Motion
One of the Genium X4's standout features is its optimized slope ascent capability. Its ability to provide a more natural walking motion and instill total confidence when navigating inclines allows users to move seamlessly, regardless of the terrain. Its advanced start-to-walk functionality ensures smooth and effortless first-step swing initiation, making transitions between stationary and active movement easier than ever.
Dynamic and Adaptive Technology
The Genium X4's intuitive slope adaptation adjusts resistance automatically based on the steepness of a descent, maximizing both stability and support. This function helps individuals remain steady while moving downhill or descending stairs, removing the need for manual adjustments. The knee's intuitive cycling mode also allows for seamless transitions between walking and biking, enhancing the versatility of everyday movement.
Improved Support for Backward Movement and Sitting
The Genium X4 features enhanced support for dynamic backward movement, allowing users to move more freely in reverse. This is a significant advancement for those needing to navigate tight spaces or situations that require backward stepping. The knee also supports a sitting function that provides customizable resistance while sitting down, offering a controlled and comfortable experience for seated positions. In addition, the knee's stance function provides a range of stability options for various static activities, offering the right level of support for different situations.
Seamless Transitions from Walking to Stairs
One of the Genium X4's most advanced features is its ability to transition effortlessly from walking to stair ascent. This innovation allows for smoother, more natural movement when ascending stairs, making it easier for users to navigate obstacles in their environment. The knee also incorporates a stance release feedback feature, which activates an audible tone when all stance release criteria are met, adding another layer of confidence to the user's experience.
Versatility and Customization
The Genium X4 offers a walk-to-run function that supports quick bursts of running, providing unparalleled knee response in moments of increased activity. This characteristic makes it an ideal choice for those with active lifestyles or those who need to move between walking and running quickly. The knee is also equipped with a wide range of customizable covers, giving users the flexibility to personalize the look of their prosthesis.
Durable and Long-Lasting Design
Durability is another hallmark of the Genium X4. With a long battery life and quick-charge capability, users can rely on the knee to provide continuous performance throughout the day. Additionally, the knee is waterproof (IP68) and corrosion-resistant, meaning it can function fully in fresh, salt, and chlorinated water environments. This design enables individuals to maintain their active lifestyles without worry, whether swimming or navigating wet environments.
Cutting-Edge Digital Ecosystem
The Genium X4 integrates with a cutting-edge digital ecosystem, enhancing users' overall experience. The knee is compatible with the MyModes feature in the Cockpit app, available for both Apple and Android devices, allowing for further customization and adjustment of settings. The knee's features can be tailored to the user's specific needs, making it a highly adaptable and personalized solution for a wide range of lifestyles.
Routine Maintenance and Longevity
Routine maintenance is key to keeping the Genium X4 performing at its best. Ottobock's commitment to quality engineering ensures that the knee is designed for long-term use, with easy-to-manage upkeep to preserve its optimal functionality. Users can trust that the knee will continue to deliver reliable performance, even in the most demanding situations.
Unlocking a New Future of Mobility
The Genium X4 sets a new benchmark for MPK performance, redefining what's possible for those who rely on prosthetic technology to navigate their daily lives. With its innovative design, superior functionality, and advanced features, it opens new doors for mobility, allowing users to move freely and confidently. Built on the pioneering Genium platform, the Genium X4 is the knee that will take users as far as they can imagine—and beyond.
Now available and accepting orders, the Genium X4 is ready to empower the next generation of prosthetic users with enhanced mobility, freedom, and control.
