Okay people I went to a Hanger Prosthetic road show about the famous C-leg. I must say seeing this leg for myself was awesome, this leg is the sign of the future for prosthetics. It has a microcessor built in that controls the hydraulic knee functions. This leg is designed for above knee amputees, the way the C-leg handles gives an amputee that freedom to walk as smooth as a person with a regular leg. It also has a remote that will allow you to put the leg in a certain position needed depending on the activity. The design of this leg reminds me of a fancy sports car,kind of aerodynamic in a way. Otto Bock and Hanger Prosthetics have created a prosthetic leg that will be hard to beat.
