Functional performance differences between the Genium and C-Leg prosthetic knees and intact knees

Abstract: Abstract-Microprocessor prosthetic knees (MPKs) have advanced technologically, offering new features to decrease impairment and activity limitations for persons with transfemoral amputation (TFA). The Genium knee is functionally untested, and functional differences between it and intact knees are unknown. This study sought to determine whether Genium use improves functional performance compared with the C-Leg. A randomized experimental crossover design was used, with a cross-section of five nonamputee controls… Show more

“…Subjects achieved significantly higher ( p < 0.05) function with Genium use (4). Using these measures of function, incremental cost-effectiveness of Genium vs. C-Leg ranged from $6,000 to $6,522 per unit increase in function (END & UBF and BAL respectively) assuming a $30,000 difference in cost (Figure 1).…”

“…These costs also presume that each unit of functional increase occurs in isolation. However, this is not the case, as each of these units of functional gain occurred simultaneously (4), thereby increasing value.…”
