Microprocessor-Controlled Prosthetic Knees

Does Meet CTAF Criteria

This topic was reviewed by the California Technology Assessment Forum on October 17, 2007. It was recommended that use of a C-Leg microprocessor-controlled prosthetic knee in otherwise healthy, active K3-K4 community ambulating adults with a trans-femoral amputation from a non-vascular cause for whom this prosthesis can be fit and programmed by a qualified prosthetist trained to do so, meets CTAF criteria 1-5 for safety, effectiveness and improvement in health outcomes.
