Innovations in prosthetics: A look at the genium x4 symposium
Revolution in the prosthetic industry!
On Tuesday, September 24, 2024, experts in prosthetics and biomechanics experienced a virtual sensation: the genium x4 symposium! Here the latest innovations in prosthetic care were presented, which could change the life of amputated sustainably. Over 200 participants from all over the world followed the event, that of dipl.-Ing. Merkur Alimusaj was led - a heavyweight in technical orthopedics at the University Hospital Heidelberg.
The list of speakers was impressive: Among other things, kat sizer from Dorset Orthopaedic, Tim Baumeister by Pohlig GmbH, Thomas Maximilian Köhler by Ottobock and Dr. Ernesto G. Trejo by Ottobock Healthcare. These experts reveal what the genium X4 prosthesis really can and which groundbreaking technology is behind this microprocessor -controlled knee prosthesis.
groundbreaking functions that change life
The heart of the symposium was the presentation of the new functions of the genium X4. "Start-to-Walk" made the start-up with the prosthesis easier, especially in crowded rooms. trejo reported a pilot study with eight participants who showed how the genium X4 is not only safer, but also significantly improved mobility! "The participants clearly preferred the genium X4 to the X3," said Trejo enthusiastically.
Another revolutionary point was "Optimized Backwards Walking", which improves balance and stability when walking backwards. Users report more security, especially if they draw heavy objects. And manufacturer mogul Köhler added that the genium X4 also shines during the "optimized climbing process" and adapts perfectly to different tendencies. Awesome, right?
of the prosthesis: innovative design and functionality
Another important aspect of the symposium was the prosthesis itself. master builder stated impressively how new materials are integrated into the construction in order to better meet the individual needs of users. "Adaptive properties are the key to an optimal sense of wear," he emphasized.
The pbss project (Pohlig Bionic Socket System) offers an innovative approach to individual prosthesis supply through the digital recording of biometric data. This can create tailor -made solutions that considerably facilitate the everyday life of the amputated.
In conclusion, the need for comprehensive patient education by Kat Sizer was discussed. She emphasized how important it is that patients can understand the functions of their microprocessor -controlled prostheses and use them efficiently. "Every function should be able to be used safely in different environments," says Sizer.Das Genium X4: Ein Meilenstein für Amputierte!
Overall, the Genium X4 Symposium was a groundbreaking event that not only moved progress in technology, but also the improved quality of life of amputated in the spotlight. The exchange of ideas and experiences catapults the development in prosthetics into a new dimension - for a self -determined life! For everyone who wants to see the recording of the symposium, it is recommended to register via Ottobock's website - do not miss this opportunity to learn everything about the future of prosthetics!
