The main aim of this study is to compare the adaptation capabilities of the microprocessor-controlled knee-ankle prosthesis system with the comparator covered by the French LPPR, known as the "usual prosthesis". The main hypothesis being that wearing the SPCM increases the time spent flat-footed in the various walking situations of everyday life, bringing it closer to that of asymptomatic people. This is a prospective, multicenter, randomized, cross-over study. The participants are transfemoral amputees who have been fitted with a microprocessor-controlled prosthetic knee for more than 3 months.

Comparison of the time (measured as a percentage of the gait cycle) when the foot is flat on the ground during walking in three gait situations: flat, on a slope and going down stairs, with SPCM and the usual prosthesis.
Timeframe: Evaluation after 4 weeks' wear of each of the 2 prostheses
