Microprocessor knee joints are prosthetic knee joints with an integrated processor or a computer that can analyze data. During walking, parameters such as step speed, joint angles, and weight transferred through sensors are analyzed by the computer inside the joint and determines the movement for the safest and most normal walking. They have different features from each other in terms of weight/height, sensor and processor frequency, load carrying capacity, phase control (hydraulic, pneumatic, magnetic), battery properties, water resistance, and special activity mode. C-Leg, Genium, Genium X3, Rheo Knee 3, Rheo Knee XC, Orion etc. prostheses of different companies are used as oscillating and compression phase microprocessor knee prostheses. Publications on C-leg, Genium and Genium X3 prostheses are limited in international literature. Although there are existing studies comparing C-leg and Genium, there is no study comparing these three prostheses. The investigators think that our study is important because it is the first study in the literature to compare these three prostheses. In this study, the investigators aimed to examine the effects of different microprocessor knee prostheses on mobility and gait parameters in unilateral traumatic transfemoral amputees.
