In comparison to the C-Leg, 11 subjects with unilateral transfemoral amputation were investigated in a gait lab during different everyday situations (walking on level ground, walking on stairs and ramps, standing on an incline). Compared to the C-Leg, the new functions of the Genium allow further approximation to the natural gait pattern as well as partially reduced loading of the intact locomotor system during all investigated situations. This is primarily ascribed to the sophisticated swing phase control, the automatically activated and deactivated standing function and the possibility of alternating stair ascent.
