Above Knee Prosthesis (AK) — Transfemoral Prosthetic Leg Solutions in Gwalior, India
An Above Knee Prosthesis (AK / Transfemoral Prosthesis) is a prosthetic leg for individuals with amputation above the knee joint. It is one of the most complex prosthetic challenges, requiring a prosthetic knee joint, pylon, socket, and foot working together to provide stable, controlled walking.
At Limbgenixx, Gwalior, we fit above-knee prosthetics ranging from basic mechanical systems for older patients to advanced Ottobock microprocessor-controlled knees (C-Leg, Genium) for active users. Our prosthetists perform comprehensive gait analysis and provide structured rehabilitation programs. We serve patients from across Madhya Pradesh, UP, Rajasthan, and pan-India.
Types of Above Knee Prosthesis
Mechanical / Polycentric Knee AK
Single-axis or polycentric knee joints for stable, reliable walking. Cost-effective and suitable for low-to-moderate activity amputees — the most widely prescribed AK system in India.
Hydraulic Knee Prosthesis
Hydraulic knee joints provide smooth, speed-adaptive movement. Better for active users who walk on varied terrain — offers superior stance and swing phase control compared to mechanical knees.
Pneumatic Knee Prosthesis
Nitrogen-filled pneumatic knees deliver responsive swing control. Lightweight and suitable for moderate-activity patients who require a balance of cost and performance.
Microprocessor Knee (Ottobock C-Leg)
The Ottobock C-Leg microprocessor knee uses real-time sensors to adapt to every step. Highest safety, most natural gait — for active amputees who demand the best prosthetic knee technology available.
Frequently Asked Questions
An above-knee (AK) prosthesis is an artificial limb for people with transfemoral (above-knee) amputation. It includes a prosthetic knee joint, pylon, and foot — all controlled by the user's thigh muscles and body weight.
A BK prosthesis is simpler — it replaces only the lower leg. An AK prosthesis is more complex, requiring an artificial knee joint plus foot. AK amputees require more rehabilitation time and energy to walk than BK amputees.
Above-knee prosthesis cost in India ranges from Rs. 40,000 for a basic mechanical knee to Rs. 8,00,000+ for Ottobock microprocessor C-Leg systems. Contact Limbgenixx for detailed pricing and financing options.
The Ottobock C-Leg 4 and Genium X3 are considered the best microprocessor knees globally. For budget-conscious patients, hydraulic knees offer an excellent balance. Limbgenixx recommends based on your activity level and goals.
Most AK amputees need 3–6 months of physiotherapy and prosthetic gait training to walk confidently. Limbgenixx provides in-house rehabilitation sessions and connects patients with physiotherapists in Gwalior.
