One is seldom fortunate enough to work with the top-end components in our profession, as it is very expensive. Themba Msomi lost his leg Above his knee in a motorcycle accident a few years ago. To replace a “natural knee joint”, which provides us all with stability, safety, power, strength and a natural gait, takes technology of the highest quality.
The Rheo XC is fitted with a microprocessor, which provides the patient with excellent safety and control, goes into a cycling mode when you start to cycle and provides excellent resistance during flexion of the knee to make it possible to go step over step down, step down the hill.
Themba is an excellent example of a well-rehabilitated above-knee amputee who walks long distances daily and plays golf.
Thank you, Themba, for this excellent opportunity!
