ABOVE KNEE PROSTHESIS (ARTIFICAIL LIMB ABOVE THE KNEE) An above-knee prosthesis, also known as a transfemoral prosthesis, is an artificial limb designed to replace a missing leg above the knee joint. This sophisticated piece of technology plays a pivotal role in restoring mobility and functionality for individuals who have undergone knee amputations. Components and Structure: Socket: The custom-made socket is a crucial component that interfaces with the residual limb. It provides a secure and comfortable fit, allowing for weight distribution and control. Evolution Healthcare Pvt. Ltd. produces unique designs that give more comfort to the patient. There are so many socket designs, like MAS sockets, Ischial containment sockets, narrow AP ML sockets, and quad-socket designs. We follow the most advanced socket design called MAS socket design. Liner: The liner is a soft, cushioning material that goes between the residual limb and the socket. It enhances comfort, reduces friction, and aids in shock absorption. There two type liner according to material one is silicon prosthetic liner and thermos polyurethane prosthetic liner. According to suspension system of the prosthesis there 3 type liner cushion liner, Locking liner and suction liner. EVOLUTION HEALTHCARE PRIVATE LIMITED provide more advance prosthetic liner which are more durable and give more comfort to the patient. Pylon: A lightweight, durable rod or tube connects the socket to the foot. It provides structural support and flexibility. Knee Joint: The knee joint is a pivotal element in above-knee prosthetics. Different types of knee joints are available, including mechanical, pneumatic, hydraulic, and microprocessor-controlled options. Each type offers specific advantages tailored to the user's needs. Mechanical Knee Joint: Relies on mechanical components for movement. This type is often simpler in design but still effective for many users. Pneumatic Knee Joint: Operates with the use of air pressure, offering a responsive and efficient mechanism for walking. It gives a smooth gait and reduces energy expenditure. It helps the patient change 3/ 4 speed. The most important thing is it requires no maintenance. Hydraulic Knee Joint: Utilizes hydraulic fluid to control the movement, providing a smooth and natural gait. It contributes to stability and adaptability on various terrains. By this joint patient can change any number of speed. And this joint very helpful to descend stair like normal person. Microprocessor Knee Joint: Incorporates advanced technology, using sensors and a microprocessor to analyse walking patterns and adjust the prosthesis in real-time. This innovation enhances adaptability to different walking speeds and terrains. Foot: The prosthetic foot replicates the natural movement and function of a biological foot. Different designs cater to specific activities and preferences. Advancements in Above-Knee Prosthetics: Recent advancements have significantly improved above-knee prosthetics, focusing on increased comfort, natural movement, and overall user satisfaction. These advancements include lightweight materials, improved socket designs, and enhanced control mechanisms in electronic knee joints. Knee Amputation Rehabilitation: Rehabilitation following knee amputation is a critical phase in adapting to an above-knee prosthesis. It involves a comprehensive approach, including physical therapy, gait training, and psychological support, to ensure a successful transition to the use of the prosthetic limb. In conclusion, above-knee prosthetics play a vital role in restoring mobility and enhancing the quality of life for individuals who have undergone knee amputation. With ongoing advancements in technology and rehabilitation strategies, these prosthetic devices continue to evolve, providing users with more comfort, functionality, and a greater sense of independence.

Safety Stride KAFO  The SafetyStride is a mechanical stance control orthotic knee joint that utilizes a low-profile cabling system to automatically unlock itself at the end of stance phase. The key feature of the SafetyStride is its ability to resist knee flexion at any angle. The SafetyStride does not require full 180° knee extension to resist knee flexion in stance phase. Designed to unlock at terminal stance, an internal lever re-engages during swing phase to ensure knee joint stability prior to heel contact. Individuals who intermittently fail to reach full extension will now have the added security and stability they require while ambulating. The SafetyStride works in conjunction with the FullStride and can be easily installed on a FullStride equipped KAFO.  It give more natural Gait  If we add a Pneumatic cylinder it will assit the quadriceps muscle and patient feel more comfortable.

Stance control KAFO (Full Stride)  The FullStride is a mechanical stance control orthotic knee joint that utilizes a low-profile cabling system to automatically unlock at the end of stance phase. At the end of swing phase, when the orthotic knee joint reaches full extension, the locking mechanism reengages to provide knee stability for stance phase. When necessary, the stance control capability of the FullStride can be easily converted into a traditional automatic bail lock.  It give more natural Gait  If we add a Pneumatic cylinder it will assit the quadriceps muscle and patient feel more comfortable.

Active KAFO  The Active plus-Knee comes furnished with a pneumatic spring on the lateral side of the joint to assist with knee extension during the swing phase of gait.  A medial knee joint is also included to help control knee alignment and give Medio lateral stability.  The active plus -Knee is a free motion knee joint that is designed to provide extension assist, not prevent knee flexion. Available with your choice of a 75N, 125N (for standard applications), or 175N pneumatic spring.

Neurotronic KAFO  The Neurotronic knee joint system is a sophisticated electro mechanical knee control component designed specifically for people with knee extensor weakness, knee instability or loss of knee control and sets the benchmark for this class of limb control technology.  The Neurotronic is incorporated into a discreet lightweight carbon frame, locking automatically in stance phase and free moving in swing phase. In stance phase, the Neurotronic stabilises the knee in any position to enable the user to safely load the effected limb even when the knee joint is flexed or bent. During swing phase, the Neurotronic allows the knee to move freely to achieve a natural gait pattern without the compensations seen with conventional designs.  The electromechanical knee joint system is controlled either by a pressure sensor under the foot piece or by motion sensors integrated in the controller. The control mechanism incorporates an inclinometer and accelerometer motion sensors that detect the movement and position of the lower leg.  When standing with the orthosis or just before heel strike, the motion sensors lock the Neurotronic system knee joint. The motion detection is sensitive to speed and the joint will lock regardless of length and speed of steps and regardless of a hill gradient.
