Also in the field of technical orthopedics, electronics and computer technology are being is used more and more often. This paper describes a microprocessor-controlled prosthetic knee joint with swing phase control and stance phase stability, the so-called C-Leg. The function of this electronic knee joint is explained. Prosthetic treatment using the C-Leg is compared with traditional prosthetic knee joints.
15 patients using the C-Leg have been observed over periods of 6 to 14 months. The treating prosthetists have given an assessment regarding the function and the improvements in comparison with the previously fitted knee joints. The patients, too, were asked to compare function and comfort of the new prosthetic fitting with the previous one.
Both, prosthetists and patients marked this new type of microprocessor-controlled knee joint in nearly all points with "very good" and described a clear improvement to the previous, purely mechanical prosthetic fitting.
Obviously, this new technology seems to be a milestone in prosthetic knee joint fitting, in order to clearly improve the prosthetic fitting of transfemoral amputees and thus their quality of life, especially of people who have several disabilities.
在技术骨科领域，电子和计算机技术的应用也越来越频繁。本文描述了一种具有摆动期控制和站立期稳定性的微处理器控制的假膝，即所谓的C型腿。对这种电子膝关节的功能进行了解释。将使用C型腿的假肢治疗与传统假膝进行了比较。
对15名使用C型腿的患者进行了6至14个月的观察。治疗假肢师对其功能以及与先前安装的膝关节相比的改善情况进行了评估。患者也被要求比较新假肢与先前假肢的功能和舒适度。
假肢师和患者在几乎所有方面都将这种新型微处理器控制的膝关节评为“非常好”，并表示与先前的纯机械假肢相比有明显改善。
显然，这项新技术似乎是假膝安装领域的一个里程碑，以便显著改善大腿截肢者的假肢安装情况，从而提高他们的生活质量，尤其是对有多种残疾的人。
