I’ve been helping with testing this leg for about a year. I just walked on this leg a few days ago with an Ottobock engineer from Vienna there to observe. This is a game changing partnership. I hope to have a version of this leg at home someday in the future. I am always amazed at the difference I feel after walking on this leg then switching back to my current leg.

Would it be able to be used for people with 2 limbs missing? (Both below the knee) Also, do you have any inside knowledge of price/availability?

Is this leg better than the C-leg and Genuine X3 and what is the cost.

@@davidgaddy4328no, it's not better than X3. slightly better than the C-leg. will cost about $100,000. FDA approval is 10 yrs. out. Ottobock just got involved to see what it can learn from the leg but this leg will never be commercialized.

@@murc111 No, this is for above-knee amputees. price is set at 100K but you will need to wait 10 yrs. for FDA approval. this leg isn't any better than X3 and not much better than C-leg. so unless this leg gets much cheaper, this is not a better product than what's already available on the market.

Wish I have a company to invest and experience on me. I just lost my leg last week

Awesome!! Congrats to the Ottobock gang 🎉 that’s great news!!

Makes amputation A little bit more bearable when you have this technology. Wonder if my shorts company will pay

you need to wait 10 yrs. before this gets FDA approval. that's the latest news. this leg is better than C-leg but not as good as X3 Genium. I don't know why Ottobock got involved with this thing.

oh, no. this leg will cost as much as X3, about $100,000 USD.

My below knee prosthesis already costs $15000. What’s this gonna cost?

You got a deal- my BK prosthesis cost $38k… in 2011. I’ve since invested over $12k into it- mostly Ottobock components. Worth every Penny albeit likely proved much higher than cost but let’s allow that to stimulate advanced R&D; it’s money that drives a big part of each new advance created & launched into the market - I’m fine with cost as long as programs exist to help those ppl unable to buy the equivalent of a new Mercedes’ or Ferrari with a bionic leg like this - above knee legs that work already start at $90-$100k

It still is a peg style leg

Di molto..!

If you fight russia you'll need it.
