Active Motor Support – In Any Situation

Three new versions of the Intuy Knee with adapted functions have been developed for a variety of everyday situations.

Intuy Knee Neo: Simple, safe and intelligent with every step.
Intuy Knee Rise: Powerful, intuitive motion support for more mobility in day-to-day life.
Intuy Knee Pro: Even more functional, more active and quieter for new challenges.

The Fascination of Motor-Supported Walking

The Intuy Knee supports users in getting up and in walking during all situations of everyday life with its powerful motor.
Thanks to its intuitive microprocessor control, using the Intuy Knee is as simple as it is efficient. Getting up and starting to walk, climbing stairs and walking on slanted surfaces, walking at a brisk pace or casually strolling - no matter the situation, the Intuy Knee lends its users the support they require. The Intuy Knee is able to actively replace missing muscle activity while at the same time relieving the contralateral side.

Indication and Activity Level

The Intuy Knee can be used for AK and knee disarticulation amputees. It can be used for almost all residual limb lengths. Due to the active support, users with a short residual limb profit especially from using this joint.

Activity level and mobility levels: 2-4

The Intuy Knee has been tested according to DIN EN ISO 10328, and has a weight limit of 125 kg.

Contraindication:
The Intuy Knee is not suitable for users with Osseointegration and users who are cognitively incapable of operating the knee joint.

Product Information and User Benefits

In contrast to passive electronic joints, an active electronic joint is not only controlled, but it is also assisted by a motor-driven, auto-adaptive motion support system.

This results in considerable advantages for the user:

  • Active extension of the knee – support when standing up
  • Active cushioning – support when sitting down
  • Active lifting of the lower leg – for climbing stairs step-over-step
  • Maximum safety thanks to active trip detection and adjustability of ground clearance
  • More power and energy for longer walking distances and less strain on the user’s back, spine and other joints
Seminars/Certification

The certification seminar is designed especially for orthopedic technicians, and is the required certification training for being able to supply users with the joint.

The alignment and the required settings of the electronic knee joint are covered in detail during a theoretical part, as well as demonstrated directly on a user and put into practice by the participants. Afterwards, you will be authorized to carry out fittings with the Intuy Knee independently.
