Pyramid Adapter

The pyramid adapter connects the Genium to the prosthetic socket.

Gyroscope, Acceleration Sensor and Angle Sensor

The gyroscope and the acceleration sensor allow the acceleration and position of the Genium in space to be determined. An angle sensor determines the flexion angle and flexion angle speed of the joint.

Hydraulic Cylinder

The hydraulic cylinder controls the Genium. It generates movement resistance for the stance and swing phase.

Battery and Electronics

In the Genium, the battery and electronics are enclosed and protected by the frame.

Carbon Fibre Frame

To withstand the demands of everyday life, the frame is constructed from carbon fibre, providing low weight and incredible strength.

Knee Moment Sensor

The knee moment sensor supplies data about the knee moment that arises and therefore provides important information to precisely determine the forces acting on the prosthesis.

Inductive Charging

The inductive charger is connected with a magnet to the back of the knee joint. This technology enables charging through clothing or cosmesis.

AXON Tube Adapter

Additional sensors are integrated in the tube adapter. They not only measure the ankle moment but also the vertical force acting on the joint. The sensor data helps make a natural movement pattern possible.
