Knee
For above the knee amputations, the prosthesis(artificial leg) has both a knee and ankle joint. Currently there are hundreds of prosthetic knee joints. These are either spring OR pneumatic cylinder OR fluid / hydraulic-controlled activated devices that let users vary their walking speed.

Socket, Liner & Locks
Socket design technology has come a long way from the days of hard plastic and wooden sockets. With the emergence of contoured sockets that fit every aspect of the residual limb, amputees are more comfortable and mobile than ever before. This type of socket distributes weight evenly across the entire surface of the residual limb, eliminating pressure points. Flexible, lightweight materials enable the socket to bend and expand along with the patient’s residual limb.
