Description
This symposium will present a new classification system of prosthetic knees based on technical, biomechanical, and functional principles. The classification comprises all non-microprocessor and microprocessor-controlled prosthetic knee types. It will allow matching patients' safety and mobility needs with the most appropriate and suitable knee mechanism.
