Everyday use

Although the XT9 is designed as a
specialized sports prosthesis and is not meant for everyday use, walking is
possible with the XT9 knee during sporting activities.

How does the XT9 work? What makes it different from other
prosthetic knees?

 

Just as the invention of the energy storing foot has revolutionized the way amputees walk, the world's first energy storing prosthetic knee (ESK) is beginning to revolutionize the way amputees play. Energy storing feet function dynamically as the user traverses uneven, diverse terrain and allow him or her to experience stability on many different surfaces.
The XT9 offers the user stability and dynamic function in many sporting applications. Simply walking or running doesn't fulfill an active lifestyle anymore.

The XT9 energy storing knee functions differently than any other knee.  It is the only AK prostheses that mimics the functions of the quadriceps in high activity sports.  The XT9's specialized "coil over air" shock system/control unit makes the XT9 the only 'energy storing' prosthetic knee on the market.  As the pressure is applied to the limb, the knee bends, compressing over 400 pounds of energy in the coil spring and air shock.  This spring and shock tension, combined with hydraulic flexion control, act supportively as the quadriceps would in a sporting situation.  The knee is allowed to bend to about 90 degrees before coming to a rest against the titanium hard stops, at which point the energy that has built up and stored in the spring system is ready to release, returning the athlete to a ready stance. 

In activities such as snowboarding, which have often been impossible for amputees to enjoy with an artificial limb, the XT9 naturally provides constant support and dynamic flexion as the rider turns, absorbs bumps and rough terrain, and even
performs jumps and tricks.

The heavy duty support which the XT9 knee offers is what allows so many high energy sports to now be enjoyed.  The XT9 High Activity Knee has adjustable stance which allows the user to set an active stance which suites his or her activity and level of ability.  Unlike other prosthetic knees, the XT9 is capable of supporting the user in an activity stance and works
dynamically as a natural limb would do.
The XT9 High Activity Knee is an energy storing prosthetic knee which has been engineered with diverse outdoor lifestyles in mind. As lifetime outdoors enthusiasts, we understand the many situations one adventure may take you through.

As an amputee, Jarem Frye, the XT9's creator, knows what additional challenges amputees face in these adventures. As engineers we know about finding solutions and creating reliable products that improve your life and make truly active lives possible!
