This type of prosthesis usually consists of a socket, a pylon and a prosthetic foot. Because the knee joint is preserved, a below-knee prosthesis often allows you to relearn a natural walking pattern. The exact configuration of the prosthesis is tailored to your daily activities, mobility and personal preferences.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"610\" data-end=\"637\">Above-knee prosthesis<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"638\" data-end=\"1057\">In the case of an amputation or limb deficiency above the knee, this is referred to as an above-knee prosthesis. In addition to a socket, pylon and prosthetic foot, an above-knee prosthesis also includes a prosthetic knee joint. This knee can be mechanical or electronic. The choice of prosthetic knee depends on factors such as your level of mobility, stability, daily activities and physical capabilities.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1059\" data-end=\"1293\">In all cases, the socket for your below-knee or above-knee prosthesis is made fully custom-made, ensuring a comfortable and secure fit.
