ATKnee in Use (VIDEO)
Caption
LegWorks 'All-Terrain Knee' (AT-Knee, vimeo.com/113771245), is a safe, high-functioning, durable, affordable prosthetic knee joint developed at Toronto's Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital. It enables lower-limb amputees to walk more efficiently, safely and comfortably. Its patented design provides incredible stability, is easy to fit and maintain, and can even be used in harsh environments, including water. In trials, early users in 10 countries reported a 95 percent preference for the relatively low-cost AT-Knee to more expensive existing technologies. Developed with a $100,000 Grand Challenges Canada seed grant awarded in 2012 to the Bloorview Research Institute, the AT-Knee easily outperformed existing technologies under rigorous conditions in El Salvador, Chile and Myanmar.
