Above Knee Prosthesis – Restoring Mobility, Restoring Freedom

Take Back Control of Every Step

Walking after an above-knee amputation requires more than just replacing a limb—it demands balance, strength, and confidence. At Cornerstone Prosthetics and Orthotics Ltd, we design above knee prostheses that combine stability and smart engineering to help you move with freedom, whether at home, at work, or in the community.

Understanding an Above Knee Prosthesis

An above knee prosthesis is an artificial limb that replaces the leg above the knee joint. Because it includes an artificial knee, this type of prosthesis must provide both support and flexibility—allowing you to stand securely and walk smoothly.

Our designs focus on energy efficiency, natural gait, and reduced strain, so you can move with less effort and more confidence.

🔹 Who Benefits from an Above Knee Prosthesis?

Our above knee prosthesis is designed for:
– People living with amputations above the knee (due to trauma, medical conditions, or congenital reasons).
– Individuals seeking improved mobility after struggling with traditional devices.
– Clients who want prostheses that allow them to work, travel, or participate in daily life with greater independence.

🔹The Cornerstone Difference

We know that above knee rehabilitation can feel overwhelming. That’s why we do more than provide a prosthesis—we provide partnership in your journey.

– Customized Design: From socket to knee unit, every component is chosen to match your weight, activity level, and goals.
– Technology that Works for You: Mechanical or microprocessor-controlled knee joints for stability and smoother walking.
– Trial Prosthesis (International Best Practice): Before final delivery, we provide a temporary prosthesis that you use for a few weeks. This ensures:
• Your limb has time to adjust to wearing a prosthesis.
• We can test alignment and comfort in real-life conditions.
• You have the chance to give feedback before we build your definitive device.
– Whole-Person Care: Gait training, muscle strengthening, and emotional support are part of the package.

🔹 Options Available

Every client is unique, so we offer a wide range of possibilities:

– Socket Systems: Ischial containment, flexible liners, adjustable sockets for evolving limb shape, and comfort-focused designs.
– Knee Units:
• Mechanical knees – simple, durable, and dependable.
• Hydraulic & pneumatic knees – smoother, controlled movement.
• Microprocessor knees – advanced, adaptive technology for natural walking.
– Prosthetic Feet: From everyday comfort to high-performance activity feet.
– Cosmetic Covers: Tailored to your preference, discreet or expressive.

🔹 The Rehabilitation Pathway

Getting an above knee prosthesis is not just about fitting—it’s about regaining function step by step:

1. Evaluation & Consultation – We assess strength, balance, and lifestyle needs.
2. Trial Prosthesis – A temporary limb allows safe testing, gradual adaptation, and feedback.
3. Definitive Design & Fabrication – Your permanent prosthesis is built using insights from your trial phase.
4. Training & Review – Learning to walk with confidence, beginning with parallel bars.
5. Ongoing Support – Continuous follow-up, adjustments, and encouragement.
