Hybrid Knee
(project ref. number: PR19-PAI-P1)
Lower limb prosthesis, a device capable of "filling the gap" between simple passive devices and advanced prostheses with prohibitive costs. This system will soon be available which, thanks to innovative control and sensorization systems, lightens the patient's load and allows a more physiological use of the device.
