Microprocessor Knees
Microprocessor knees utilize sensors to monitor the user's gait in real-time. With every step, the onboard microprocessor adjusts the knee’s resistance, ensuring optimal support and movement fluidity. This technology enhances safety, reduces the risk of falls, and allows for a more natural walking experience across various terrains.
