The Benefits of Lunaris: A Clinical Breakthrough for Enhanced Mobility

The groundbreaking innovations of Lunaris, backed by clinical research, highlight a multitude of benefits for individuals with lower limb amputations. These advantages are likely related to the ankle joint and its flexibility¹, which provide a more natural gait during walking. These insights underscore Lunaris as a leading prosthetic solution that not only addresses functional aspects but also enhances the overall walking experience for users.

A MORE NATURAL GAIT

Compared to a traditional prosthesis, the walking pattern of Lunaris is much closer to that of a human ankle². An individual-based case study demonstrated that after several weeks of use, the user had regained a walking pattern closer to that of an able-bodied person².

INCREASED COMFORT AND REDUCED FATIGUE

An immediat increase in comfort and a decrease in fatigue were observed when walking on flat and slopingsurfaces compared to the current prosthesis of the participants¹.

Whether for transtibial or transfemoral amputations, users rated Lunaris above average in terms of usability, even without prior familiarity with the device¹.

APPROVED BY TESTERS

Thanks to these studies, the many benefits of Lunaris were highlighted, and testers are highly likely to recommend this prosthesis to others¹.
