K prosthesis
A K prosthesis is a type of leg prosthetic used for individuals with above-knee amputations. It typically features a socket that fits over the residual limb, a knee joint that can be mechanical or hydraulic, and a foot or ankle component. The design allows for better control of movement, stability, and comfort, enabling users to walk, run, and perform daily activities more naturally. Modern K prostheses may incorporate advanced materials and technology to improve function and reduce weight, helping amputees regain mobility and independence effectively.
